Overview

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

The Livid Pinkgill faces significant decline due to habitat degradation from intensive agricultural practices and urban development across its European range. Nitrogen deposition from agricultural runoff and air pollution alters soil chemistry, disrupting the delicate mycorrhizal relationships essential for this species' survival. Climate change compounds these pressures by shifting precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that affect fruiting body formation and spore dispersal.

Threat summary

Habitat

This large mushroom species inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, particularly beech and oak forests, where it forms mycorrhizal associations with tree roots. It typically fruits in late summer and autumn on calcareous soils in parks, woodland edges, and mature forest understories across temperate Europe.
