Dienerella elongata (Curtis) - Occurs under bark on deadwood and amongst wood-chips and
sawdust; also reported from moss in winter, mouldy hay/straw, and in a blackbird nest
in February.
Dienerella separanda (Reitter) - Indoors and out; in moist crumbly timber when outdoors.
Widespread.
Corticaria alleni Johnson - Nationally Scarce. Lives under loose dry bark usually; also in
myxomycete fungus and in dry crumbly heartwood. Associated with areas of old
deciduous (oak Quercus/ beech Fagus) woodlands in S/SE England; also recorded
from Sherwood Forest and Easterness.
Corticaria dubia Dajoz - In slime moulds on trees.
Corticaria fagi Wollaston – RDBI. Associated with old mouldy deadwood; Windsor Forest
(1936), Sussex (1974) & Suffolk (1983). Widely distributed in Europe although rare
and sporadic.
Corticaria linearis (Paykull) - Nationally Scarce. Primarily associated with decaying pine
Pinus timber; also reported from oak Quercus. Mostly Scottish, although widely in
England.
Corticaria longicollis (Zetterstedt) – RDBK. Recorded in a red-rotten hollow oak Quercus,
beneath bark on dead wood, and in wood ant Formica rufa nest.
Corticaria polypori Sahlberg, J. - Develops in Fomes fomentarius bracket fungi on dead
birches Betula in Scottish Highlands; N & C European species; rare.
Melanophthalma suturalis (Mannerheim) - In bracket fungi.
Mycetophagidae - Hairy Fungus Beetles. Associated with fungoid bark and wood.
Pseudotriphyllus suturalis (Fabricius) - Adults associated with bracket fungi, most often
Laetiporus sulphureus and Polyporus squamosus. Widespread over lowland central
and eastern England, extending north into the Lothians.
Triphyllus bicolor (Fabricius) - Nationally Scarce B. Adults mainly found at fresh fruiting
bodies of Fistulina hepatica, but also Laetiporus sulphureu,s on oak Quercus trunks;
also reported from fungi on beech Fagus. Ancient woodlands and wood pastures of
lowland Britain; apparently absent from far west.
Litargus connexus (Fourcroy)* - Larvae develop in the fungus Daldinia concentrica; the
adults are generally found under dead bark close to the fruiting bodies. Widespread
across lowland Britain, but rare in west, and with only single known localities in
southern Scotland & northern Ireland.
Mycetophagus atomarius (Fabricius) – Larvae develop in the hard black fruiting bodies of
Hypoxylon fragiforme on dead & dying beech Fagus, or Daldinia concentrica on ash
Fraxinus; pupae reported under bark and in deadwood. Throughout England,
although rare in west; Welsh Borders; extending into S and W Scotland.
Mycetophagus fulvicollis Fabricius – Extinct. Only a 19th Century record from Black Wood
of Rannoch. Sub-fossil records from Somerset Levels.
Mycetophagus multipunctatus Fabricius - With fungi on ash Fraxinus and other broad-leaved
trees; widespread in lowland England and especially along alluvial floodplain
situations, but increasingly scarce to the north and west; not known from Cornwall
and Devon, and mainly in border counties of Wales; rare in Scotland.
Mycetophagus piceus (Fabricius) - Nationally Scarce B. Most often develops in red-rotten
heartwood in oak Quercus trunks and boughs, i.e. in the decay caused by the fungus
Laetiporus sulphureus, the larvae occurring where the decay is fresh and moist.
Adults are also found feeding on fruiting bodies of other bracket fungi. Primarily in
ancient woodlands and wood pastures. Widespread over much of England and Wales,
but absent from far south-west and north; one southern Scottish record.
