Assessment Notes
The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/269707119/269707121
Justification
Currently, Cantharellus petersii has only been recorded from Alabama, USA. However, there is a paucity of information on this species, and the type was collected from under "red cedar", so its overall range could be large. With the high level of uncertainty, this species could theoretically qualify for any category from Critically Endangered to Least Concern, and so it is assessed as Data Deficient.Geographic range
Cantharellus petersii has been collected from Alabama, USA (Berkeley and Curtis 1859), and it is currently only reported from this state. However, it was collected on moss under "red cedar" (Berkeley and Curtis 1859), presumed to be Juniperus virginiana, and so its overall range could be large.Population and Trends
