gele stekelkorstzwam

Mycoacia uda

Unknown

Overview

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

Mycoacia uda faces severe decline due to the widespread loss of old-growth deciduous forests across Europe, particularly beech and oak woodlands that provide the large-diameter dead wood essential for this species. Intensive forest management practices that remove deadwood and favor younger tree stands have eliminated much of its specialized habitat. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering forest composition and increasing the frequency of droughts that stress host trees.

Threat summary

Habitat

This corticioid fungus inhabits old-growth deciduous forests, particularly those dominated by beech and oak trees. It grows on the dead wood of large-diameter fallen logs and standing dead trees, requiring the specific microclimate conditions found in mature forest ecosystems.
