- On soil, humus, and rotting wood of cool, high-elevation northern hardwood, spruce, and spruce-fir forests. Found in scattered localities in the mountains, where it can be locally common. Our one Piedmont record, from a seepage swamp on Bull Run Mountain, Prince William County, is notable for its low elevation (Biodiversity occurrence data published by TENN Accessed through Consortium of North American Bryophyte Herbaria (CNABH) Data Portal, http//:bryophyteportal.org/portal/index.php, 2015-02-10).
