Population and Trends
There is no quantitative information regarding the population size and trend of the species.
Population Trend: Unknown
Habitat and Ecology
It was collected from the roots of a nearly dead oak (Saccardo 1888).
Threats
Without a clearer knowledge of the distribution of the species it is not possible to accurately assess what threats this species may face.
Conservation Actions
Surveys to collect additional specimens, examine the taxonomy and get a clearer idea of the distribution and ecological requirements of the species are needed.
