Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Arrhenia lobata faces severe decline due to the destruction and degradation of its specialized moss-rich habitats, particularly through agricultural intensification and urban development. The species' dependence on specific bryophyte communities makes it extremely vulnerable to changes in moisture regimes and substrate composition. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate microclimatic conditions required for both the fungus and its moss associates to thrive.
Habitat
This specialized fungus occurs in moss-rich grasslands, particularly those dominated by Bryum and other bryophyte species, typically in nutrient-poor, calcareous soils. It forms intimate associations with specific moss communities in semi-natural grasslands and occasionally in disturbed areas where suitable bryophyte substrates persist.
