Championella sarcorrhiza
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Championella sarcorrhiza faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion in its limited range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human disturbance. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could affect the specific soil conditions this fungus requires for survival.
Habitat
This critically endangered fungus inhabits specialized soil environments in temperate regions, typically associated with specific substrate conditions and moisture requirements. It appears to be restricted to very particular microhabitat conditions that support its unique ecological niche.
