Distribution remains uncertain since P. brunneoolivaceus and P. ellisianus are very close morphologically. These two species occur rarely within the study area and their small sizes are generally overlooked as discussed per P. ellisianus. We found these species growing in bryophytes which act as water reserve keeping the delicate basidiomata of the species fresh for a longer time. This species generally occurs in mixed conifer and deciduous forests with no clear determination of exact tree species associations.
