Inocybe tenebrosa
Local name: Schwarzfüßiger Rißpilz
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Inocybe tenebrosa 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' narrow ecological requirements make it highly vulnerable to atmospheric pollution, especially nitrogen deposition, which fundamentally changes the soil conditions necessary for fruiting body development. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that disrupt the delicate timing of reproductive cycles.
Habitat
This dark-footed fiber-head mushroom inhabits mature deciduous and mixed forests, forming mycorrhizal associations with broadleaf trees, particularly beech and oak species. It typically fruits in nutrient-poor, acidic soils with well-developed leaf litter layers in undisturbed woodland environments.
