vitt vaxskinn

Phlebia subulata

Unknown

Overview

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

Phlebia subulata faces severe decline due to intensive forestry practices that remove the old-growth deciduous trees essential for its survival. The species requires specific microhabitat conditions found only in mature forest ecosystems with abundant dead wood substrates. Climate change compounds these pressures by altering moisture regimes and temperature patterns that affect fungal reproduction and spore viability.

Threat summary

Habitat

This wood-inhabiting fungus occurs exclusively on decaying deciduous wood in old-growth and mature forests, particularly favoring beech, oak, and other hardwood species. It requires specific moisture and temperature conditions found in undisturbed forest ecosystems with abundant coarse woody debris.
