Synonym: Stropharia earlei Norvell & Redhead, Mycotaxon 76: 317 (2000) Synonym contributor (s): Kew Mycology (2015)
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
A little observed species, its distribution in Brazil is restricted to a single biome. Thus, this species deserves attention, as the records show its occurrence in threatened areas and under great anthropic activity.
Geographic range
Species found in Brazilian territory, only in the Cerrado phytogeographic domain.
Population and Trends
This species is found in a reduced form in only one type of specific vegetation (the cerrado).
In Brazil, this species appears only in the state of São Paulo.
Population Trend: Decreasing
Habitat and Ecology
Species of native origin, belonging to the Cerrado phytogeographic domain, present in the cerrado vegetation (lato sensu).
Threats
Threats include areas that experience intense deforestation, mining and the development of industrial activities.
Conservation Actions
Conservation actions must include political, social and educational actions in order to highlight the importance of fungal species for the maintenance of terrestrial ecosystems.
Research needed
A better understanding of this species is needed to understand its distribution and forms of life. In addition, there is an urgent need to expand knowledge about the Cerrado fungus.
