Found under a wet board in the woods.

Moved
I think we'll keep this for now as there are few photos of this species represented in the guide. For the time being do try to replace this image with a better one if possible.

Frassed
Moved from ID Request.

Yes, nice catch.
Yes, nice catch.

 
Thanks!
Are they actually rare, like the genus name suggests?

 
Geographically restricted
I have seen specimens from half a dozen localities but none with over a couple specimens in the same night.

 
I haven't actually collected
I haven't actually collected it so it's hard for me to say. When Gidaspow did her revision she had 68 specimens to work with. I would say uncommon to rare but if you look in the right place at the right time they are probably "frequent". Cache Co seems to be the place to look.

 
Alright
Not too rare then. But still neat. Thanks!
