Russula olivina

Unknown

Overview

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

Russula olivina faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to intensive forestry practices and urban development within its limited range. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate soil chemistry and moisture conditions essential for mycorrhizal relationships with host trees. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes that disrupt forest ecosystem stability.

Threat summary

Habitat

This fungus occurs in mature deciduous and mixed forests, forming mycorrhizal associations with oak, beech, and other broadleaf trees. It requires well-drained, slightly acidic soils and is typically found in undisturbed woodland areas with established canopy cover.
