This species occurs in grassland, lawns, parks, churchards and golf courses where there is very little input of inorganic fertiliser. It is a member of our declining ‘waxcap grassland’ fungal community and recent studies show that the Blackening waxcap is a complex of different similar fungi rather than just one species.
