Rotbrauner Risspilz
Inocybe splendens
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inocybe splendens faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments, particularly through changes in forest management practices that alter soil chemistry and mycorrhizal relationships. The species' dependence on specific host trees and soil conditions makes it highly vulnerable to forest fragmentation and the conversion of natural woodlands to managed plantations. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate moisture and temperature regimes required for fruiting body development.
Habitat
Inocybe splendens occurs in deciduous and mixed woodlands, forming mycorrhizal associations with broadleaf trees, particularly beech and oak species. The fungus requires specific soil conditions with appropriate pH levels and organic matter content, typically found in mature forest ecosystems with stable understory environments.
