Konermach lives in small colonies with stems positioned very closely together; it only appears in moist areas with little light, such as small caves and cracks. As a consequence, it is a highly endangered species. Areas where konermach can be found are the Carlton Forests, Ryshembrock Forests, Thatrench, and Svolnick Moor. The konermach tree is listed on Wikinational Conservation Organization's "Wildlife at risk" list as endangered due to its decline in population and habitat.
