Taxonomic notes

Cantharellus turrigii appears to be an orthographic variant of this (I. Olariaga Ibarguren pers. comm. 2022), but the species could be a synonym of Hypsizygus ulmarius (I. Olariaga Ibarguren pers. comm. 2022).

Geographic range

Threats

Conservation Actions

The species’ taxonomic position needs to be resolved. If it is shown to be a good species, then work to better elucidate its range, population size and trend is needed.
