[edit] Location
L. laccata is found scattered in wooded areas, often in poor soil. It is very common in most areas where mushrooms grow, but tends to favor cool weather. This species is often considered by mushroom collectors to be a "mushroom weed" because of its commonness and plain stature.
[edit] Ecology
L. laccata is mycorrhizal with several types of trees, including members of the Pinaceae, Fagaceae and Betulaceae.
