Schwefelgelber Mehlschirmling
Cystolepiota icterina
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
The Schwefelgelber Mehlschirmling faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments. Agricultural intensification and urban development have reduced the availability of suitable deciduous and mixed forest habitats where this fungus forms essential mycorrhizal relationships. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature regimes that may disrupt the delicate ecological conditions required for fruiting body formation and spore dispersal.
Habitat
This species inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, particularly favoring nutrient-rich soils in beech and oak woodlands. It typically grows in association with specific tree species through mycorrhizal relationships, requiring stable forest floor conditions with appropriate moisture and organic matter levels.
