Assessment Notes
Justification
Since the description of
Cantharellus lacunosus there do not appear to be any subsequent records of the species. There is a lack of occurrence data and 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 probably a synonym of
Craterellus lutescens or
C. tubaeformis, but the name has not been used much since its description (I. Olariaga Ibarguren
in litt. 2022).
Geographic range
The type was described from Zehušice in present-day Czechia (Velenovský 1920).
Population and Trends
It is only known from the type description.
Population Trend: unknown
Habitat and Ecology
The type specimen was described from mossy areas in forest (Velenovský 1920).
Threats
No threats can be accurately recognised due to lack of information about the full distribution of the species. However, World Resources Institute (2021) outlines a 12% decrease in forest cover from 2001-2019 in Czechia, primarily as a result of deforestation.
Conservation Actions
Confirmation is required of taxonomic status, population and distribution data and ecology to better assess the species.
