Epuraea peltoides has been recorded in Canada from Alberta east to Québec and Nova Scotia ( McNamara 1991; Majka and Cline 2006), and in the United States south to Virginia and west to Indiana and Wisconsin ( Parsons 1943). Price and Young (2006) found it on rotting peaches, and at wounded hardwood trees.
