Entoloma glaucobasis

Unknown

Overview

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

Entoloma glaucobasis faces significant pressure from habitat degradation in its specialized grassland ecosystems. Agricultural intensification and conversion of semi-natural grasslands to intensive farming practices have reduced suitable habitat across its European range. The species' dependence on specific soil conditions and mycorrhizal relationships makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices.

Threat summary

Habitat

This fungus occurs in nutrient-poor, calcareous grasslands and chalk downs across Europe, typically forming mycorrhizal associations with grasses. It favors well-drained soils with specific pH conditions and is often found in traditional pastures and meadows with low-intensity management.
