Collector: Sterenberg, V.

Collection location: East Arm, Great Slave Lake, N.W.T.

Remarks: Near Hoarfrost River homestead owned by the Olesen family. Sample growing on fire-killed Betula papyrifera from 2014 wildfire burn. Species flushed in June 2016. Threw spores roughly 7days following sample collection. Birch trees in area were heavily populated with fungus, growing on both fire-killed and fire-damaged trees. Collector was unaware that presence of insect species proximal to fungus was of interest to researchers. Site revisited, but no insects observed during short time spent there.
