Glischrochilus fasciatus has been recorded in Canada from British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island (McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006) and in the United States from Maine south to Florida, west through Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa to Oregon; also in New Mexico (Parsons 1943; Chandler 2001). The species is common on fungi, flowers, decaying or ripe fruit (Downie and Arnett 1996) and is associated with oak wilt fungus mats (Cease and Juzwik 2001). Price and Young (2006) found it associated with oak (Quercus sp.), poplar (Populus sp.), and butternut (Juglans cinerea L., Juglandaceae).
