Entoloma dysthales
Local name: Gerieftrandiger Haar-Rötling
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Entoloma dysthales faces severe decline due to habitat degradation from agricultural intensification and urban development across its European range. The species is particularly vulnerable to soil chemistry changes from fertilizer runoff and pesticide applications, which alter the delicate mycorrhizal relationships essential for its survival. Climate change compounds these pressures by shifting precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that affect fruiting body formation and spore dispersal.
Habitat
This rare mushroom species inhabits nutrient-poor grasslands, heathlands, and woodland edges across temperate Europe, forming mycorrhizal associations with various herbaceous plants and shrubs. It typically fruits in late summer to autumn in areas with acidic to neutral soils that have remained relatively undisturbed by intensive land management.
