Assessment Notes
The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/269704937/269704939
Justification
Since the description of Cantherellus fissilis there appears to be a single record of the species, but that is considered to be unconfirmed. 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
Cantharellus fissilis was described by Fries (1821). Based on the description it is not cantharelloid, although difficult to interpret (I. Olariaga Ibarguren pers. comm. 2022).Geographic range
Based on its listing for the homotypic synonym Cyphella fissilis, it was described from Sweden (Saccardo 1895), although that is not clear from the type description (see Fries 1821). This is also a single observation from the UK on GBIF, dated 1837, but it is considered unconfirmed (see GBIF 2023).Population and Trends
It is not possible to accurately estimate the population size and trend.
