Entoloma pseudoparasiticum

Local name: snylterødspore

Unknown

Overview

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

Entoloma pseudoparasiticum faces severe decline due to habitat degradation from intensive agricultural practices and urban development in its native Scandinavian range. The species' specialized ecological requirements, including specific soil chemistry and mycorrhizal associations, make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions necessary for fruiting body formation.

Threat summary

Habitat

This rare mushroom species inhabits nutrient-poor grasslands, heathlands, and forest edges in Scandinavia, typically growing in acidic soils with specific mineral compositions. It forms mycorrhizal associations with various plant species and requires undisturbed soil conditions to complete its complex life cycle.
