This species' range is [[Arctic Circle|circumpolar]],<ref>C.Michael Hogan, ed. 2010. [http://www.eol.org/pages/1092011 ''Calypso bulbosa''. Encyclopedia of Life.]</ref> and includes California, the Rocky Mountain states and most of the most northerly states of the [[United States]]; most of [[Canada]]; [[Scandinavia]] much of European and Asiatic [[Russia]]; [[China]], Mongolia, Korea and [[Japan]]—see external links for map.<ref name="WCSP">
Although the calypso orchid's distribution is wide, it is very susceptible to disturbance, and is therefore classified as threatened or [[endangered]] in several U. S. states and in Sweden and Finland. It does not transplant well<ref name=Coleman/> owing to its [[mycorrhiza]]l dependence on specific soil fungi. The corms have been used as a food source by [[North America]]n [[Native Americans in the United States|native]] peoples. The [[Nlaka'pamux]] of [[British Columbia]] used it as a treatment for mild [[epilepsy]].<ref>{{Citation |last1=Moerman |first1=Daniel E. |title=Native American ethnobotany |year= 1998 |publisher=[[Timber Press]] |isbn=0-88192-453-9 |page=133 |postscript=<!--none-->}}</ref>
At least near [[Banff, Alberta]], the calypso orchid is [[pollination|pollinated]] by bumble bees (''[[Bombus]] (Pyrobombus)'' and ''B. [[Psithyrus]]''). It relies on "pollination by deception", as it attracts insects to [[anther]]-like yellow hairs at the entrance to the pouch and forked nectary-like structures at the end of the pouch but produces no [[nectar]] that would nourish them. Insects quickly learn not to revisit it. Avoiding such recognition may account for some of the small variation in the flower's appearance.<ref name=Boyden/><ref>{{Citation | last = Mosquin | first = T. | year = 1970 | title = The Reproductive Biology of ''Calypso bulbosa'' (Orchidaceae) | journal = Can.
