Lehmfarbener Rasling
Lyophyllum paelochroum
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Lehmfarbener Rasling faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments, particularly through intensive forestry practices that alter soil chemistry and mycorrhizal networks essential for fungal reproduction. Urban development and agricultural expansion have fragmented its remaining suitable habitats across Central Europe. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering precipitation patterns and soil moisture levels critical for fruiting body formation.
Habitat
This species inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, particularly beech and oak forests with rich, calcareous soils. It forms mycorrhizal associations with tree roots and typically fruits in small groups on forest floors during autumn months.
