Distribution: The long-legged lobe is found from mid-summer to the end of September (?) In forests of various types, preferring damp places; appears usually in groups. Often settles in mosses and strongly decomposed wood residues.

Similar species: Long-legged lobster has one striking feature: the stem, which allows this mushroom to be distinguished from a number of bowl-shaped lobes. However, this blade can be distinguished from some less common representatives of this genus only by microscopic features.
