Entoloma versatile

Local name: Olivbrauner Rötling

Unknown

Overview

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

Entoloma versatile faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat degradation and loss of suitable grassland ecosystems. Agricultural intensification and conversion of traditional meadows to intensive farming practices have eliminated many of the species' preferred growing sites. The fungus's dependence on specific soil conditions and plant associations makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and habitat fragmentation.

Threat summary

Habitat

Entoloma versatile typically occurs in nutrient-poor grasslands, meadows, and pastures, particularly those with calcareous soils. The species shows a preference for traditional extensively managed grasslands and appears to be associated with specific plant communities in these semi-natural habitats.
