Entoloma viiduense

Unknown

Overview

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

Entoloma viiduense faces severe population decline due to habitat degradation and loss of its specialized woodland ecosystems. The species' narrow ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to changes in forest composition and soil chemistry. Agricultural intensification and urban development in its limited range have fragmented remaining suitable habitats, while climate change may be altering the delicate mycorrhizal relationships essential for its survival.

Threat summary

Habitat

This rare mushroom species inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, particularly favoring nutrient-rich soils with specific pH conditions. It forms mycorrhizal associations with certain tree species and requires undisturbed forest floor environments with stable moisture levels.
