olivbrun kremla

Russula olivobrunnea

Unknown

Overview

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

Russula olivobrunnea faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in European beech and mixed deciduous forests. The species' dependence on specific mycorrhizal relationships with mature tree roots makes it particularly vulnerable to logging activities and forest management practices that alter soil chemistry and fungal networks. Climate change poses an additional threat by shifting temperature and moisture regimes that affect both the fungus and its host trees.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species occurs in mature deciduous and mixed forests, particularly beech-dominated woodlands with rich, well-drained soils. It forms essential mycorrhizal associations with tree roots and requires stable forest floor conditions with minimal disturbance.
