Assessment Notes
The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/266000145/266019007
Justification
No detailed or recent information is available for Rhodobolites roseus, namely since the establishment of this genus in 1923. It seems to have been forgotten to science and may be a synonym of another species so a review is needed to evaluate its taxonomic validity. Therefore, R. roseus is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
It is the only accepted species in the Rhodobolites genus in Species Fungorum (2023). However, the establishment of Boletus roseus (Rabenhorst and Grunow 1884) was based on Boletus alutarius (now considered a synonym of Tylopilus felleus). A taxonomic review is needed.Geographic range
Its distribution is expected to be in Central Europe, given its inclusion in “Dr. L. Rabenhorst's Kryptogamen-Flora von Deutschland, Oesterreich und der Schweiz” (= Flora for Germany, Austria and Switzerland).Population and Trends
Given the lack of records it is not possible to estimate population size or trends.
Population Trend: Unknown
