Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Amauroderma praetervisum is characterised by the dark, strongly zonate and thick pileus, and finely ornamented, globose to subglobose basidiospores (9‒12 × 9‒11 μm). The species is easily confused with A. omphalodes and A. pseudoboletum which have more ellipsoid basidiospores (Ryvarden 2004; Gomes-Silva et al. 2015).
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Geographic range
Neotropical species known in 14 countries, but mostly recorded in Brazil. Reports other than the Neotropics should be revaluated.
Population and Trends
The species has about 145 occurrences, according to GBIF.
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
This species occurs in four Brazilian biomes: Amazon, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest and Caatinga.
Threats
The species is well distributed in Brazil. However, the Amazon has currently the highest rates of deforestation in the last decades, the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado are already hotspots, and Caatinga is threatened with desertification.
Conservation Actions
Several records are in protected areas.
Research needed
Other countries should be better surveyed for a better understanding of distribution of the species.
Use and Trade
None.
