Species text
This small shiny black beetle is widespread but local in England and southern Scotland, also recorded in mid-Wales. It has an indicator status Grade 2 in Garland (1983). It occurs in broad-leaved woodland and pasture-woodland. The species has been recorded from an oyster fungus Pleurotus spp., a polypore Polyporus spp., and a gill fungus, as well as in fungus infected rotten willow and a fungus on a dead elm stump. Threats include the loss of broad-leaved woodland and parkland through, for example, clear-felling and conversion to other land use. Habitat loss, in particular through the felling of fungus-infected trees, removal of dead wood from living trees and the destruction or removal of standing and fallen dead wood for reasons such as forest hygiene, aesthetic tidiness, public safety or for use as fire wood also threaten this species. Fungus-infected trees and both fallen and standing dead timber, especially with the bark attached, should be retained. Dead timber should not be removed from trees. Gaps in the age structure of the tree population should be identified and the continuity of the appropriate habitat ensured by suitable planting and possibly with pollarding. References
