Assessment Notes

Taxonomic notes


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

The range will likely drop as urban development picks up.


Geographic range


Population and Trends

Currently common within Washington state, California and Oregon. Not seen elsewhere. Stable but could potentially go into decline because of its range being exclusively the Pacific Northwest. The Burke says is least concern but does not have stable information on the range.

Population Trend: Uncertain


Habitat and Ecology

Seen in lawns near forested areas and in forested areas. Generally in urban/distturbed settings

Boreal ForestTemperate ForestTemperate Grassland

Threats

Lack of widespread range is the biggest threat to this species as is urban development. Populations might go into decline and likely have already.

Housing & urban areasUnintentional effects: large scale (species being assessed is not the target) [harvest]

Conservation Actions

Protecting its forest habitat is the best way to conserve this species.

Resource & habitat protection

Research needed

A better range map would be helpful. Inaturalist has a general map but it is not that good due to the lack of experts in this species.

ThreatsPopulation trends

Use and Trade

Likely poisonous so there is no use or trade of this mushroom
