 Temperate species are numerous and difficult; several have also 

 been described from the tropics.

This species appears to be common throughout both temperate 

 and tropical regions, appearing abundantly along roads and 

 paths and in grassy places during periods of wet weather. Like 

 most cosmopolitan species, it shows considerable variation, even 

 in spore characters.
