Described from Europe. According to Demoulin (1971, 1972) it does not occur in the Americas, where it is replaced by a vicariant species, L. americanum Demoulin.
Eurasian population is here considered since the North American records potentially belong to L. americanum (research needed).
Large population nemoral-montane woodland (Fagus, Quercus, Corylus) in temperate regions but also on record from subtropical habitats.
Threats include afforestation, and subsequent replacement of coniferous plantations. Currently however, the trend appears to be fairly stable. Suggested assessment: LC
Eurasia, Australia, Africa. Records from North America (cfr GBIF database) are likely to belong to L. americanum. Common species in western Europe, reaches its northern limit on the Norwegian coast at 63N. Not present in boreal-alpine-artctic regions.
Large population - more than 4000 records on the GBIF database (N. America excluded).
Population trend stable.
Population Trend: Stable
Saprotrophic in suntropical - nemoral -hemiboreal woodland often with Quercus, Corylus and Fagus in northern Europe. In southern and central Europe in montane situations.
Afforestation of nemoral woodland (eg Fagus) subsequently transformed into coniferous plantations.
Tha status of L. echinatum in N. America should beestablished using moelcular tools. According to Demoulin 1971 the American population belongs to a similar, vicariant species, L. americanum.
