Justification

Corallofungus hatakeyamanus is in need of modern interpretation. It is known from only one locality in a forest of common tree species, but it is unclear whether this species is restricted only to this region or widespread. This species is inconspicuous and may be overlooked. This species is categorized as Data Deficient (DD) until further information is known.
