Assessment Notes
The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/226999368/227536455
Justification
Since the description of Cantharellus morchellocephalus there do not appear to be any subsequent records of the species. There is limited information available from the type description and with a lack of information on the habitat and ecology of the species, it is not possible to assess the status of its population or distribution. It is therefore assessed as Data Deficient.Taxonomic notes
It is most likely not a chanterelle (I. Olariaga Ibarguren in litt. 2022).Geographic range
The range is unknown, and it is unclear where the type was described from (see Montagne 1837).Population and Trends
It is only known from the type.
Population Trend: Unknown
