Gloeohypochnicium analogum

Local name: lundkrämskinn

Unknown

Overview

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

Gloeohypochnicium analogum faces significant pressure from intensive forestry practices that remove the dead and decaying wood substrates essential for its survival. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering moisture regimes in forest ecosystems, potentially making conditions too dry for this moisture-dependent fungus. The species' specialized ecological requirements and limited dispersal ability make it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation.

Threat summary

Habitat

This corticioid fungus grows on the underside of decaying logs and fallen branches in old-growth and mature coniferous forests, particularly favoring moist, shaded microhabitats. It requires specific moisture conditions and substrate chemistry found in undisturbed forest ecosystems with abundant coarse woody debris.
