Distribution

It is uncertain whether ''F. calocera'' is native to Madagascar or was introduced to the island from Asia. Throughout much of its expanded range ''F. calocera'' is now considered an invasive species. It colonizes ruderal sites along transport routes and can become dominant in habitats disturbed by human activity. Mycologists fear that it may be displacing native fungi species as it spreads through the paleotropics.
