Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
As its distribution is restricted to the Cerrado areas, it is also a place marked by intense human interference, with the exploration of the natural environment driven by economic interests.
Geographic range
Species found in the phytogeographic domain Cerrado, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo (SP).
Population and Trends
Species appear to be rare. The records show that its occurrence occurs in a restricted way in the Cerrado areas.
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
Habitat: Solitary on sandy soil under open sunlight in the Cerrado region (BASEIA & MILANEZ, 2002). It is not endemic to Brazil.
Threats
Main threat: human interference that has caused the loss of the habitat of this species.
Conservation Actions
The protection of the habitat is necessary, since this species is found in an area of great anthropic action. Another action would be to inform society about the importance of fungi.
Research needed
There are not enough studies on species of this genus in herbariums, making it necessary to expand research on these fungi.
Use and Trade
There is no information.
