Habitat:

Ecology: Old dune woodland, Fagus sylvatica dominated, with Acer and Quercus, calcareous sandy or loamy soils, thick leaflitter and humus layers, particularly around wood debris; shares direct habitat with: Suillellus luridus (Observation 250762, MHCB-16090201), Leucoagaricus sublittoralis (Observation 288533, MHCB-17081802), Limacella cf. vinosorubescens, Mycena filopes, Inocybe sp., Russula solaris, Russula fellea, Lactarius blennius, Gymnopus confluens, and some more.

Notes:

Notes: This internationally rather rare species is very rare in the Netherlands, with only a handful of sightings in the most southern part of our country, Zuid-Limburg, where it grows on calcareous (marl) soils in decidious slope woodlands. This is the second record outside of that area in the Netherlands. Listed as Vulnerable on our national Red List (Arnolds & Veerkamp, 2008).
