Deviodontia pilaecystidiata

Local name: sälgtagging

Unknown

Overview

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

Sälgtagging faces significant pressure from habitat degradation due to intensive forestry practices that remove the old-growth deciduous trees essential for its survival. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature conditions required for its specialized fungal associations. Urban expansion and infrastructure development continue to fragment its remaining woodland habitats across Scandinavia.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits mature deciduous and mixed forests, particularly favoring old-growth beech and oak woodlands with high humidity levels. It requires specific microhabitat conditions including decaying wood substrates and established lichen communities that support its complex ecological relationships.
