Inocybe fibrosoides

Local name: Strohweißer Risspilz

Unknown

Overview

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

Strohweißer Risspilz faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized woodland environments, particularly through changes in forest management practices that alter soil chemistry and mycorrhizal relationships. The species' dependence on specific host trees and soil conditions makes it vulnerable to forest fragmentation and the conversion of natural woodlands to managed plantations. Climate-induced changes in precipitation patterns and temperature regimes further threaten the delicate ecological balance required for fruiting body formation.

Threat summary

Habitat

This mycorrhizal fungus inhabits deciduous and mixed woodlands, forming symbiotic relationships with broadleaf trees, particularly in calcareous soils. It typically occurs in mature forest ecosystems with stable soil conditions and established mycorrhizal networks.
