Justification
Ixocomus australiuralensis was described from eastern European Russia in 1955, but has not been recorded since and there is no further documentation on it. It is likely that this species has been forgotten to science, and a taxonomic review is needed to confirm its placement in the genus Ixocomus. The species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
Ixocomus australiuralensis is the only remaining species in the genus Ixocomus. Other species formally treated in the genus have been transferred, mostly to the genus Suillus (Species Fungorum 2023).Geographic range
The species was described from eastern European Russia (Species Fungorum 2023).Population and Trends
There are no records or documentation on this species other than its description in 1955, so it is not possible to estimate the current population size or trends.
Population Trend: Unknown
