Entoloma kervernii

Local name: Kervern's Rötling

Unknown

Overview

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

Kervern's Rötling faces severe pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized coastal grassland environments. The species' narrow ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to changes in grazing patterns and coastal development. Agricultural intensification and the abandonment of traditional low-intensity grazing systems have significantly reduced suitable habitat availability across its limited range.

Threat summary

Habitat

This rare fungus occurs exclusively in nutrient-poor coastal grasslands and dune systems, typically in areas maintained by traditional low-intensity grazing. It forms mycorrhizal associations with grasses in calcareous soils near the Atlantic coast.
