This species tends to be mycorrhizal, that is associated with the roots of nearby plants. Found on many occasions is association with Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera) trees. Insects absolutely adore this fungi so quickly become riddled with immature ones.
Though I must admit I've never seen one with what looks like a human nose associated with it!!:)
