Trechispora silvae-ryae

Local name: trådmjölskinn

Unknown

Overview

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

Trechispora silvae-ryae faces severe decline due to the loss of old-growth coniferous forests across Scandinavia, where intensive forestry practices have dramatically reduced suitable habitat. The species requires specific microhabitat conditions found only in undisturbed forest ecosystems with abundant decaying wood substrates. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering forest composition and moisture regimes essential for this specialized fungus.

Threat summary

Habitat

This corticioid fungus inhabits old-growth coniferous forests, particularly spruce-dominated ecosystems in Scandinavia. It grows on decaying wood substrates and requires the specific microclimate conditions found in undisturbed forest environments with high humidity and stable temperatures.
