Assessment Notes
The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/265983885/266020709
Justification
Spiniger curiosus has only been documented in the original description of the species in 1969, under the name Paullicorticium curiosum and has not been recorded since. It potentially represents the asexual form of another species. Mutatoderma pupulneum has been suggested but this has not yet been confirmed. A taxonomic review of this taxon is needed and the species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
Spiniger curiosus is a currently accepted name in Species Fungorum (2023) and only remaining specie in the genus. However, Donk (1971) concluded it was the conidial state of a Hyphoderma species, possibly Hyphoderma populneum (now Mutatoderma pupulneum).Geographic range
This species was recorded from Siberia (Parmasto 1969).Population and Trends
This species has only been documented in its original description (under the name Paullicorticium curiosum). It is not possible to estimate the population size.
