Assessment Notes

Taxonomic notes

Halonatospora pansihalos previously assigned as Glomus pansihalos is recognized by spores with in which the outermost spore wall layer strongly swells and forms a halo with radiate columns when mounted in PVLG, and the upper surface of the laminate structural spore wall layer is ornamented with evenly distributed hemispherical warts (Błaszkowski et al., 2018).


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

We suggest this species to be categorized as insufficient data (DD).


Geographic range

The species is known in 7 countries.


Population and Trends

There are 4 records in 3 countries according to GBIF, when searching Glomus pansihalos. However, it can be found in other countries too.

Population Trend: Uncertain
