It has been found in Atlantic Forest biomes in the states of São Paulo (Rio Claro being its type locality), Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil.[3][4]
It uses several bracket fungi as hosts. The species identified are Fabisporus sanguineus, Trametes membranacea, Trametes villosa and Fuscoporia gilva.[4]
