Assessment Notes

The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/226999870/227535324

Justification

The type specimen of this species was collected in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, as described in Berkeley (1842). Information regarding any present day population of this species, as well as its habitat preferences and potential threats, is lacking. Until further information is carried out to address these data deficiencies, this species is listed as Data Deficient.

Taxonomic notes

It is probably not a Cantharellus, and it could be a Stereopsis, Cotylidia or Thelephora (I. Olariaga Ibarguren in litt. 2022).

Geographic range

The type of this species is known from New Ireland, Papua New Guinea (Berkeley 1842).

Population and Trends

Because information regarding the distribution of this species, its threats, and its habitat preferences is lacking, it is currently not possible to determine its current population trends accurately.

Population Trend: unknown

Habitat and Ecology

Information regarding this species' habitat preferences is limited, however the type was found growing on wood (Berkeley 1842). It is likely that this species was found in lowland rainforest, however without more precise geographic data, there is no hard evidence to support this claim.

Threats

Due to the deficiency in precise geographic information regarding the distribution of this species, it is not possible to determine an accurate distribution for this species. Therefore, it is unreasonable to assign any threats to this species without further research into its distribution.

Conservation Actions

No conservation action can be recommended at this time, due to a lack of information regarding this species' wild distribution, its habitat preferences, and whether or not it is threatened in its habitat. Further research into this species’ distribution, habitat preferences, and the extent to which this species is threatened is required in order to make an accurate classification.
