Sepia Pinkgill

Entoloma jubatum

Unknown

Overview

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

The Sepia Pinkgill faces significant pressure from habitat degradation as old-growth forests are cleared for agriculture and urban development. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions required for fruiting body formation. The species' dependence on specific mycorrhizal relationships with native tree species makes it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation and the introduction of non-native plant species.

Threat summary

Habitat

Entoloma jubatum inhabits mature deciduous and mixed forests, typically growing in association with oak, beech, and other broadleaf trees. The species requires well-drained, humus-rich soils and is most commonly found in undisturbed woodland areas with established mycorrhizal networks.
