Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland in southern England, with records north to Cumbria. In Hampshire very rare in the south-east of the county. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-14 mm. Similar to other species of this group especially Cork Moth N. cloacella, but the ground colour is so dark that the markings corresponding to those of the other species are scarcely visible. Larva feeds on fungi and dead wood, often on Birch.
