Assessment Notes

The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/226993427/227536611

Justification

Since the description of Cantherellus hygrophanus there do not appear to be any subsequent records of the species. There is limited information available and with a lack of occurrence data and 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 uncertain if it belongs to Cantharellus due to the hollow stipe (see Saccardo 1887). It might be an albino form of an agaric, or even a Craterellus, but checks would need to be made on a type specimen (it there is any) to be able to say more (I. Olariaga Ibarguren in litt. 2022).

Geographic range

The exact range of this species is unknown, having been described from grassy areas in Lapland (see Saccardo 1887).

Population and Trends

It is only known from the type description.

Population Trend: unknown


Habitat and Ecology

Saccardo (1887) records the type specimen was described from grassy areas.

Threats

No major threats can be identified due to lack of information about the full range of this species.

Conservation Actions

Confirmation is required of taxonomic status, population and distribution data and ecology to better assess the species.
