Justification
Cantharellus appalachiensis is a common and widespread species in eastern North American hardwood forests. The abundance of this species and its occurrence in a habitat undergoing no major decline support this species being listed as Least Concern (LC).Taxonomic notes
Cantharellus appalachiensis was described from Tennessee, USA (Petersen and Ryvarden 1971). Buyck et al. (2016) indicated that there are undescribed species in the C. tabernensis-C. appalachiensis complex in North America; more work is needed to resolve this. Applications of the name C. appalachiensis to collections from China and India represent distinct species.Geographic range
Cantharellus appalachiensis is a widespread species in eastern North America. It ranges from eastern Texas to Florida, as far north as into Quebec, Canada. It is most common from North Carolina and Tennessee into southern New England.Population and Trends
The population of Cantharellus appalachiensis is very widespread, occurring over much of the eastern North American hardwood forests. The habitat is stable, and no decline has been reported.
Population Trend: stable
