Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Species with a wide distribution. American population apparently stable ?, European population declining due to habitat loss (acidic sandy soil transferred to pine plantations (historical and ongoing).
European population: suggested VU-NT (A); Global: LC?
Geographic range
Population and Trends
Large population (2000+) records on GBIF databes, although a number of records may not refer to this species sensu stricto. Supposedly stable population in the USA, in Europe it is restricted to acid sandy heathland and dry and sandy pine forests and is declining due to habitat loss.
EOO: 177 000 000 km2
AOO: 3300 km2
In Europe several occurrences on inland sand dunes and sand fields used as military training fields.
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
Saprotrophic on acid sandy grassland, rarely remaining in pine plantations. Thermophilous.
Threats
Habitat decline due to overgrowth or exploitation by man.
Clear cutting of sandy pine woodlands
Conservation Actions
The current status of the localities of this species is unclear, particularly in Europe.
