Assessment Notes

Justification

Information regarding this species' current wild distribution, habitat preferences, and potential threats is greatly deficient. Without this information, it is difficult to assess the current population trend of this species. Therefore, this species is listed as Data Deficient until such information arises.

---

Taxonomic notes

It might be a Craterellus, but it is unlikely to be a Cantharellus due to the hollow stipe (see Berkeley and Broome 1871) (I. Olariaga Ibarguren in litt. 2022).

---

Geographic range

This species was originally described as growing in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, in 1868 (Berkeley and Broome 1871).

---

Population and Trends

The current status of any wild population of this species is unknown at this time, and is likely to remain as such without much further research into its distribution, habitat, and ecology.

Population Trend: unknown

---

Habitat and Ecology

Information on the habitat preferences or ecology of this species is deficient.

---

Threats

Information as to whether this species is threatened is lacking, and without further research into its habitat preferences and distribution, it may be unreasonable to assign threats to this species.

---

Conservation Actions

Due to the deficiency of geographic information associated with this species, as well as of information regarding its habitat preferences, no conservation actions can be recommended at this time. Research is required in order to verify the existence of wild subpopulations of this species, whether these subpopulations are threatened, and their habitat preferences, in order to accurately classify this species.
