Assessment Notes
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.
Taxonomic notes
Corallofungus hatakeyamanus is in need of modern interpretation as it has been hypothesized to be two species rather than one (He
et al. 2019).
Geographic range
This species is known from one locality in Akita, Japan. This locality is described as a forest containing Fagus and Quercus Trees (Kobayasi 1983).
Population and Trends
There is no current information describing population size or trends of this species. However, the forest from the one known locality contains tree species which are widespread (Kobayasi 1983).
Population Trend: Unknown
Habitat and Ecology
This species is known only from one locality growing in a mixed forest of
Fagus and
Quercus trees (Kobayasi 1983). This species is reported as asexual with a white/cream coloured globose fruit structure (Kobayasi 1983).
Threats
The threats to this species are unknown.
Conservation Actions
Further research is required.
