Overview
Antrodiella canadensis is a species of fungus belonging to the family Phanerochaetaceae.
Antrodiella canadensis is critically endangered primarily due to the loss and degradation of old-growth forest habitats that provide the specific dead wood substrates this polypore fungus requires for survival. The species has an extremely limited distribution and appears to be dependent on particular host tree species and forest conditions that are increasingly rare due to logging and forest management practices.
