Entoloma huijsmanii
Local name: Huijsmans Rötling
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Huijsmans Rötling faces severe habitat pressure from agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited European range. The species' dependence on specific soil chemistry and mycorrhizal associations makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the delicate moisture balance required for fruiting body development.
Habitat
This rare fungus occurs in nutrient-poor grasslands, particularly calcareous soils and chalk downs across northwestern Europe. It forms mycorrhizal associations with specific grasses and herbs in semi-natural grassland ecosystems that have remained relatively undisturbed.
