kromporing

Perenniporia tenuis

Unknown

Overview

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

Kromporing faces severe pressure from deforestation and logging activities that destroy its primary forest habitat across Southeast Asia. The species' dependence on specific host trees makes it particularly vulnerable to selective logging practices that target these preferred substrates. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion continue to fragment remaining forest patches, reducing available habitat and isolating populations.

Threat summary

Habitat

Kromporing is a wood-decay fungus that grows on dead and dying hardwood trees in tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. It typically colonizes fallen logs and standing dead trees in primary and secondary forest environments, playing a crucial role in forest nutrient cycling.
