Rank Reasons"This species is widespread, most common in cool continental forests, sparse in the western Cascades, and frequent in the Rocky Mountains" (McCune and Geiser 1997). The "widespread" in the previous sentence most likely applies to the Pacific Northwest region (L. McDonald). It is circumpolar and frequent in western Canada and Alaska (c.f. Thomson 1984).
