Found throughout the southern-half of the UK, Mycetophagus multipunctatus s mostly restricted to the Sherwood Forest area of Nottinghamshire, but must surely occuoy other wooded locations elsewhere. The most southerly record on the distribution map is from Halloughton Dumble near Southwell, where it was recorded on a number of occasions by Wil Heeney in 2014 and 2015, mostly in April and May.
