Price and Young (2006) found them on flowers of plum ( Prunus americana Marsh.), choke cherry ( P. virginiana L.), apple ( Pyrus malus L.) (Rosaceae), everlasting ( Antennaria neglecta Greene), and white snakeroot ( Eupatorium rugosum Houtt.) (Asteraceae), in leaf litter, on rotting fruit, recently cut hardwoods, on driftwood, scotch pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.), white pine ( Pinus strobus L.)
