Assessment Notes

Justification

There is very little to no information available regarding this European species’ distribution, population size and trend. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately estimate its extinction risk and as such it is assessed as Data Deficient.

---

Taxonomic notes

It might be a Craterellus (not a Cantharellus) but the name has not been used (I. Olariaga Ibarguren pers. comm. 2022).

---

Geographic range

This species appears to only be known from material collected in pine woodland at Petaheid near to Verviers in Belgium (Saccardo 1887).

---

Population and Trends

There is no information regarding the overall population size and trend.

Population Trend: Unknown

---

Habitat and Ecology

This species has been collected from pine woodland (Saccardo 1887).

---

Threats

Without a clearer understanding of the full range and ecology of the species it is difficult to understand the current threats to its population. However, it is suspected that agriculture and urbanisation around Verviers will have impacted the species, at least in the past.

---

Conservation Actions

The known area of the species is near to the Parc Naturel des Hautes Fagnes, but it is unknown if the species has been positively recorded from there. Further research is required to get a clearer understanding of the range of this species, its population size and trend. Taxonomic work to see if it should be a Craterellus should also be conducted.

Use and Trade

There is no use/trade information available specifically on this species.
