conifers
This is considered a very common species found throughout the greater Blue Ridge Province of the Southern Appalachian Moutains from North America and worldwide (Maas Geesteranus 1971; Harrison 1968; Baird 1986a). Collections were recorded from areas containing T. canadensis and Rhododendron maximum L., with scattered conifers and mixed hardwoods. However, this species can be found in many different forest types and is probably not a good character for distinguishing H. concrescens.
