Rissige Gewebehaut
Athelopsis lacerata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Athelopsis lacerata faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized forest environments, where changes in moisture levels and substrate composition directly impact its survival. The species is particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation and logging activities that alter the microclimate conditions essential for its growth. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifting precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate moisture balance required by this fungal species.
Habitat
This species inhabits temperate and boreal forest ecosystems, typically growing on decaying wood substrates in moist, shaded environments. It requires specific microclimate conditions with consistent humidity levels and is often found in old-growth forest areas with abundant dead wood.
