Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
The brown basidiomata, the yellowish context with two black lines, the globose to subglobose, distinctly ornamented basidiospores (10‒13 × 9‒12 μm) distinguish this species. Amauroderma camerarium is similar, but has no lines in the context (Gomes-Silva et al. 2015).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Geographic range
The species is known in 7 countries, mostly in Brazil.
Population and Trends
The species has 100 occurrences according to GBIF, 3/4 of which are in Brazil.
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
This species occurs in four Brazilian biomes: Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Caatinga and Cerrado.
Threats
The species is well distributed in Brazil. However, the Amazon has currently the highest rates of deforestation in the last decades, the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado are already hotspots, and Caatinga is threatened with desertification.
Conservation Actions
Several records are in protected areas.
Research needed
Other countries should be better surveyed for a better understanding of distribution of the species.
Use and Trade
None
