Assessment Notes

Justification

Gyrophana pseudolacrymans was described from India in 1901 but has not been documented since. The validity of this species is also uncertain and a taxonomic review is needed. The species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).


Taxonomic notes

Gyrophana pseudolacrymans is the only currently accepted species in the genus Gyrophana, with other species now considered part of different taxa. There seems to be some confusion regarding the taxonomic validity of this species. Merulius pseudolacrymans is the only synonym included in Species Fungorum, but this species has been suggested as synonym of Serpula similis (Kumar and Harsh, 2014).


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?


Geographic range

The species was described from Saharanpur garden, Uttar Pradesh, India. (Hennings, 1901)


Population and Trends

The species has not been recorded since its description in 1901, so it is not possible to estimate current population size and trends.

Population Trend: Uncertain


Habitat and Ecology

It was reported to be growing on tree roots (Hennings, 1901).
