Reichbeschleierter Faserling
Psathyrella spintrigeroides
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Reichbeschleierter Faserling faces severe population decline due to the destruction and fragmentation of its specialized woodland habitats across Central Europe. Agricultural intensification and urban development have eliminated many of the mature deciduous forests where this fungus forms essential mycorrhizal relationships with specific tree species. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering soil moisture regimes and temperature patterns critical for fruiting body formation and spore dispersal.
Habitat
This species inhabits mature deciduous and mixed forests in Central Europe, particularly favoring beech and oak woodlands with rich, well-drained soils. It forms mycorrhizal associations with specific tree species and requires stable forest floor conditions with consistent moisture levels and organic matter accumulation.
