Described as Sclerocystis taiwanensis is sporocarpia rubribrunnea, brunnea, vel fusca, globosa, subglobosa, 200-300 x 180-280 μm.
Due to the lack of adequate information to make a direct or indirect assessment of its risk of extinction, based on its distribution and / or population status, I would suggest that this species be categorized as insufficient data (DD).
Glomus taiwanense was originally described in China and, according to GBIF, occurs in four countries. In Brazil, this species was registered in the states of Manaus, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Bahia e Ceará.
This species was isolated from the rhizosphere of the inka nut (Plukenetia volubilis) in San Martín State of Peru (Western Amazonia) and found in an Atlantic Forest regeneration area in southern Bahia.
Population Trend:
In Brazil, this species is registered in different biomes, such as Amazon rainforest, Cerrado, Atlantic rainforest and Caatinga.
This species is associated with biomes that have high rates of anthropic disturbance, such as deforestation. This condition may indicate a risk.
The multiplication of this fungus in the laboratory, being kept in the inoculum bank represents an advance for the conservation of this species.
More studies are needed that address the ecology of the species and its hosts, in addition to increasing data on its distribution.
