Assessment Notes

The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/226992669/227536655

Justification

Since the description of Cantharellus discolor there do not appear to be any subsequent records of the species. There is a lack of information on the habitat and ecology of the species, and it is not possible to assess the status of its population or distribution. It is therefore assessed as Data Deficient.

Taxonomic notes

It is unlikely to be a Cantharellus (nor Cantharelloid) due to the globose spores of 2.5-4 µm (Velenovský 1920) (I. Olariaga Ibarguren in litt. 2022).

Geographic range

This species was described from forest on Hůra near Tehov in present-day Czechia (Velenovský 1920).

Population and Trends

It is only known from the type.

Population Trend: unknown


Habitat and Ecology

The type specimen was described from 'plump humus' in old fir forest, occurring individually (Velenovský 1920). Petrak (1930) describes Cantharellus discolor as occurring in loose humus in old gymnospermous forest.

Threats

No threats can be identified without further information.

Conservation Actions

Confirmation is required of taxonomic status, population and distribution data and ecology to better assess the species.
