Found quite
commonly at Sherwood Forest CP, the extremely small Octotemnus
glabriculus, is probably less recorded because of
it's size (1.5mm) rather than it being particularly
uncommon. Colour varies from reddish brown, through to
dark brown or almost black. It is often found in company with other
Ciidae on various
bracket fungi, including Trametes ochracea,
which grows commonly at Sherwood Forest CP on cut tree
stumps. The photograph below right, shows the considerably smaller
Octotemnus glabriculus with Cis boleti. |
