This species is a widespread chanterelle mushroom of sub-Saharan Africa. It is not thought to approach the thresholds for listing as threatened under any criterion, and so is assessed as Least Concern.
Chanterelle project
There are records of this species from across sub-Saharan Africa, and so it is inferred that it would occur in most sub-Saharan Africa countries where there is suitable habitat, even if it has not yet been officially recorded in some yet.
There is no available information on the population size and trend.
Population Trend: Uncertain
This is a species of rain forest habitats (e.g. see Buyck et al. 2016), although it is frequently misidentified from woodland (Buyck et al. 2013).
With such a wide range, it is unlikely that the species faces any significant threats.
Further research is needed to get a clearer idea of the full distribution of the species, and the population trend.
This species is eaten in countries across its range (e.g. Guissou et al. 2008, Moluwa et al. 2013, Tibuhwa 2013, Kashiki et al. 2020).
