Psathyrella suavissima
Local name: Sødtduftende mørkhat
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Psathyrella suavissima faces severe population decline due to habitat destruction from urban development and agricultural intensification across its limited European range. The species' dependence on specific soil conditions and mycorrhizal relationships makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that affect the delicate moisture balance required for fruiting body development.
Habitat
This rare fungus inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, particularly favoring nutrient-rich soils with specific pH conditions. It forms mycorrhizal associations with tree roots and requires undisturbed forest floor environments with consistent moisture levels.
