Overview

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

Lépiote vineuse faces significant pressure from habitat degradation as European grasslands and woodland edges are converted for agriculture and urban development. The species' dependence on specific soil conditions and mycorrhizal relationships makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices. Climate change may further stress populations by altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions required for fruiting body formation.

Threat summary

Habitat

This fungus typically occurs in nutrient-rich grasslands, woodland margins, and semi-natural pastures across Europe. It shows a preference for calcareous soils and areas with moderate grazing pressure that maintain the open structure necessary for its growth.
