Cortinarius serratissimus
Local name: Savbladet slørhat
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Savbladet slørhat faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized old-growth forest environments. The species' dependence on mature coniferous forests with specific mycorrhizal relationships makes it particularly vulnerable to logging activities and forest fragmentation. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate soil chemistry and moisture conditions required for fruiting body development.
Habitat
This species inhabits mature coniferous forests, particularly those dominated by spruce and pine, where it forms mycorrhizal associations with tree roots. It requires undisturbed forest floors with specific soil chemistry and moisture conditions typical of old-growth ecosystems.
