Where it grows wild

Grows gregariously and in clusters on wood chips, leaf piles and woody debris in disturbed places: urban areas, trails, roadsides, gardens and deciduous forest edges. Occasionally on dung.

Few records carry an elevation; the measured sites are mild tropical-highland or subtropical locations.
