6. Collection localities in New Brunswick, Canada of
Oxyporus stygicus
.
Collection and habitat data.
The biology, development, and a description of the larval characteristics of
Oxyporus stygicus
were reported by
Hanley and Goodrich (1994)
. They reported this species from three families of fungi:
Cortinariaceae
(
Pholiota
),
Polyporaceae
(
Grifola
,
Polyporus
), and
Tricholomataceae
(
Armillaria
,
Omphalotus
,
Pleurotus
). Large series of immatures were collected from
Pholiota aurivella
(Fr.) Kummer,
Pholiota
sp., and
Omphalotus illudens
(Schw.) Bigelow.
Weiss and West (1920)
reported
Oxyporus stygicus
from
Pleurotus ostriatus
Fries.
Hanley and Goodrich (1995b)
considered
Oxyporus stygicus
to have a relatively narrow range of host species compared with other
Oxyporus
sp. This species was collected from
Boletus
and
Pholiota
spp. mushrooms in mixed forests and a silver maple (
Acer saccharum
Marsh) forest in New Brunswick. Adults were collected during June and September.
Distribution in Canada and Alaska.
