Inocybe margaritispora

Unknown

Overview

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

Inocybe margaritispora faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments. The species' dependence on specific soil chemistry and mycorrhizal relationships with particular tree species makes it highly vulnerable to forest management practices and environmental changes. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion of woodland margins further fragment its already limited habitat range.

Threat summary

Habitat

This fungus inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, forming mycorrhizal associations with broadleaf trees in nutrient-rich soils. It typically occurs in mature forest understories with stable soil conditions and established tree root networks.
