A rather widespread Palaearctic species. In Europe B. austriaca is known from central and northern parts and Russia but is mostly absent or non-detected from a wide belt ranging from Greece to Lithuania ( Chandler 2013). It is new for Romania and Montenegro. The species has been reared from a fruiting body of Tricholoma focale in Russian Karelia ( Jakovlev 1994).
