Inocybe melanopoda

Unknown

Overview

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

Sortfodet trævlhat faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments, particularly through intensive forestry practices that alter soil chemistry and mycorrhizal networks essential for this fungal species. Urban development and agricultural expansion have fragmented the mature deciduous forests where this species typically occurs, reducing available substrate and disrupting the complex ecological relationships required for fruiting body formation.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits mature deciduous and mixed forests, particularly favoring beech and oak woodlands with rich, calcareous soils. It forms mycorrhizal associations with broadleaved trees and typically fruits in late summer to autumn in undisturbed forest floor environments.
