Entoloma pseudocoelestinum

Unknown

Overview

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

Faserschuppiger Zärtling faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized grassland ecosystems. The species is particularly vulnerable to agricultural intensification and changes in traditional grazing practices that maintain the nutrient-poor, calcareous grasslands it requires. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate soil chemistry and moisture conditions essential for this fungus's mycorrhizal relationships with specific plant partners.
