klokhoedsatijnzwam

Entoloma velenovskyi

Unknown

Overview

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

Entoloma velenovskyi faces severe decline due to the widespread destruction and degradation of old-growth deciduous forests across Europe. Agricultural intensification and urban development have eliminated many of the mature woodland ecosystems this species requires for fruiting. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering soil moisture regimes and mycorrhizal relationships essential for this fungus's survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This rare fungus inhabits mature deciduous forests, particularly beech and oak woodlands with rich, calcareous soils. It forms mycorrhizal associations with tree roots and requires undisturbed forest floor conditions with stable moisture levels.
