Tetratoma fungorum (Fabricius, 1790).

It used to be in the Melandryidae, but now, according to Fauna Europaea, it is in a separate family Tetratomidae. In Russia, it is known only from the Caucasus (see KK of Adygea in the Shipunov Library), but it was not given in the "green". In England, Piptoporus betulinus is a common inhabitant of old basidiocarps.

London, Wimbledon Common, 29 November 2013:
