Girdled Dapperling

Lepiota boudieri

Unknown

Overview

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

The Girdled Dapperling faces severe pressure from habitat degradation as European grasslands and woodland edges are converted to intensive agriculture and urban development. Climate change compounds these threats by altering soil chemistry and moisture regimes essential for mycorrhizal relationships. The species' specialized ecological requirements and limited dispersal ability make populations particularly vulnerable to fragmentation of suitable habitat patches.

Threat summary

Habitat

This saprophytic fungus inhabits nutrient-rich grasslands, woodland margins, and parklands across Europe, typically growing in small fairy rings on calcareous soils. It shows a preference for semi-natural grasslands with established soil fungal networks and moderate grazing pressure.
