Collection and Habitat data. The NH specimens were captured in boreal/subalpine/alpine areas primarily by sifting various coniferous litters and rotten wood; also taken from litter by stream, birch leaf litter, and in the Sphagnum of the mist zone of waterfalls. Found from June to October in NH. In Canada found in coniferous and deciduous forests, with the adults in forest litter, and in moss and lichens; in NB this species was found under sea wrack under alders on a sea beach in May, and in gilled mushrooms in an adjacent red spruce and yellow birch forest in August and September ( Klimaszewski et al. 2021).
