Entoloma fridolfingense

Local name: kalkrødspore

Unknown

Overview

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

Entoloma fridolfingense faces severe habitat degradation due to intensive agricultural practices 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 use and agricultural intensification. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the delicate moisture balance required for fruiting body development.

Threat summary

Habitat

This rare fungus occurs in nutrient-poor grasslands, particularly calcareous meadows and pastures with specific soil pH requirements. It forms mycorrhizal associations with grasses and herbs in semi-natural grassland ecosystems that have remained relatively undisturbed.
