Since the description of Cantherellus coriaceus there do not appear to be any subsequent records of the species. There is a lack of occurrence data and information on the habitat and ecology of the species, and it is not possible to assess the status of its population or distribution. It is therefore assessed as Data Deficient.

Cantharellus coriaceus was described by G.T. Preuss in 1851 and subsequently listed by P.A. Saccardo in 1887.
