Singers keglehat
Conocybe singeriana
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Singers keglehat faces severe threats from habitat degradation due to agricultural intensification and urban development across its limited range. The species' specialized ecological requirements make it particularly vulnerable to changes in soil chemistry and moisture levels caused by fertilizer runoff and altered drainage patterns. Climate change poses an additional threat through shifting precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate fungal-substrate relationships essential for fruiting body formation.
Habitat
This rare fungus occurs in nutrient-rich grasslands, pastures, and woodland edges with specific soil conditions. It typically fruits in areas with high organic matter content, often associated with decomposing organic material in semi-natural grassland ecosystems.
