Outside of a recording made in Tiruchirappalli, India, in 1834, there don’t appear to be any records of this species. Information regarding the habitat preferences of this species and its potential threats appears to be similarly lacking. Further research is needed to confirm this species’ existence in the wild, and the extent to which it may be threatened, and so this species is listed as DD until such research is carried out.

Chanterelle species

The type specimen of this species was recorded in 1834 in the mountainous regions of Tamil Nadu, Tiruchirappalli, formerly known as Trichinopoly, India (Manjula 1983).

The current population trends of this species cannot be confirmed without further research, as no geographic records exists for this species, outside of a recording made in 1834 from Tiruchirappalli, India.

This species was located in the mountainous regions of Tiruchirappalli, however the extent to which information on this species’ habitat or ecology is known is very limited.

If this species exists in its last known wild locality, it may be under threat of human disturbance for recreation as well as residential and commercial development for recreational areas.

No information is known about the current population trends of this species, and so no conservation action can be recommended at this time.

Research is required in order to confirm this species’ presence in the wild, its possible population trends, and the threats which may be affecting it.
