Lentinellus flabelliformis

Local name: Fächerförmiger Zähling

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Lentinellus flabelliformis faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to intensive forestry practices that remove the dead and decaying hardwood substrates essential for its survival. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering moisture regimes and temperature patterns in its specialized woodland habitats. The species' limited distribution and specific substrate requirements make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions when suitable dead wood is removed from forest ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

This fan-shaped fungus inhabits mature deciduous and mixed woodlands, growing specifically on decaying hardwood logs and stumps, particularly beech and oak. It requires stable moisture conditions and the complex microhabitat provided by undisturbed forest floor environments with abundant dead wood.
