Schwachfilziger Schirmling
Lepiota tomentella
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Lepiota tomentella faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments, particularly through intensive forestry practices that alter soil composition and mycorrhizal networks essential for fungal reproduction. Urban development and agricultural expansion have fragmented its remaining suitable habitats across Central Europe. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering precipitation patterns and soil moisture levels critical for fruiting body formation.
Habitat
This species inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands with rich, humus-laden soils, particularly favoring beech and oak forests with well-developed leaf litter layers. It typically occurs in undisturbed forest floors where complex mycorrhizal relationships can establish with native tree species.
