Found primarily in Northern Europe, it has a boreal distribution, and has also been collected in East Karelia, Yakutia, and North America. It was described as new to science in 1998 by mycologist Tuomo Niemelä. The type collection made made in Finland, where it was found growing on a dead fruit body of Phellinus chrysoloma, a polypore fungus that is found only in old-growth forest. As its successor, S. chrysella is highly susceptible to forest management and disturbances.[1]
