Assessment Notes

Justification

There is an extreme paucity of information regarding this species, with uncertain taxonomic positioning, and unknown provenance. Therefore, Cantharellus violaceus is assessed as Data Deficient.


Taxonomic notes

This species is unlikely to be a Cantharellus (I. Olariaga Ibarguren in litt. 2022).


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

Chanterelle project


Geographic range

This is considered to be a European species (Saccardo 1888), but there is no provenance information beyond that.


Population and Trends

Without any further information it is impossible to estimate the population size and trend.

Threats

Without any further information it is impossible to assess what threats this species may face.


Conservation Actions


Research needed

Further research is required to relocate the species, to gather specimens in order to get a clearer taxonomic position for the species, and to gain greater insight into the population distribution, size and trend - if it is a good species.
