Justification

Cantharellus odorus appears to only be known from the type collection, from the Gschintz Valley in Austria. Without any more recent collections it is not possible to accurately estimate its extinction risk. Therefore, C. odorus is assessed as Data Deficient.

Taxonomic notes

This is unlikely to be a Cantharellus due to its globose spores (I. Olariaga Ibarguren pers. comm. 2022).

Geographic range

This species has only been reported from Trins in the Gschintz valley, Austria (Wettstein 1887).

Population and Trends

Without further information regarding its full distribution it is not possible to estimate the population size and trend.

Population Trend: Unknown

Habitat and Ecology

The type collection was made from pine forest (Wettstein 1887).

Threats

Without further information it is not possible to accurately investigate the potential threats that this species faces.

Conservation Actions

Further research is required into the taxonomic position of this species, in addition to ascertaining its natural distribution, threats, population size and trend.

Use and Trade

There is no use/trade information.
