Justification
Krombholziella rugosa is a species described from the north of France. It was only been found between 1970 and 1975. This may be a rare species, but the lack of observations may also be due to confusion with other similar or potentially synonymous species. A taxonomic review and search efforts to determine its current population size and distribution are needed. The species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
This is the only species in the genus Krombholziella, K. rugosa was assigned to this genus in a taxonomic review in 1985. All other species that previously belonged to this genus have since been transferred to other genera (Leccinellum and Leccinum) (Species Fungorum 2023).Geographic range
The species is only known from the north of France (Roost-Warendin in Auchel and Carvin and Lapugnoy in Pas-de-Calais).Population and Trends
It is only known from a small number of collections in the north of France, collected between 1970 and 1975 (Bon and Van Haluwyn 1981, GBIF.org 2023). The species has not been found since, and no more information is available. It may be rare since it is conspicuous and found in a region with generally high searching efforts. However it is also possible that it may be confused or a synonym of another species (e.g. Leccinum spp.) and forgotten to science. Therefore it is not possible to estimate the current distribution, or population size and trends.
