Habit, Habitat, and Distribution:
Solitary to subgregarious on cow dung Reported from Western Australia, New Zealand,
but was described in Tasmania.
"Predominantly on nutrient-poor grasslands and pastures (Noordeloos 1999, p. 45), rarely on dung,
in contrast to the new species. Mating crosses between isolates of P. semilanceata and P. alutacea
always produced negative pairings. "
