Assessment Notes

Justification
Cejpomyces globosisporus is a corticioid species that has been recorded in Gabon, Japan and Switzerland. Despite its apparent wide distribution, very few records and information are available and it is not clear if this is a very undersampled species with a wide distribution or if specimens from different locations have been misidentified as the same species. A taxonomic review of known specimens and targeted search efforts are needed to estimate the true distribution and population size, so for now it is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
This is the only remaining species in the genus Cejpomyces.Geographic range
Cejpomyces globosisporus was described from north of Libreville, Gabon (Boidin and Gilles 1982), and has been listed for Japan (Maekawa 2021) and in two sites in Switzerland in 2010 and 2013 (GBIF.org 2023). Taxonomic studies have not been undertaken to determine if the disjunct subpopulations are conspecific.Population and Trends
Confirmation of the distribution and taxonomy of the species is needed to estimate the population size and trends.
Population Trend: Unknown
