Assessment Notes

Justification

This species is known from the collection of 3 specimens from India, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla, Kufri forest, on soil under Quercus leucotrichophora. Further information regarding this species’ habitat preferences is unknown. Furthermore, the extent to which this species, or Quercus leucotrichophora, is threatened is unknown at this time, making it difficult to assess the current population trends of this species. Until further research is carried out to address these data deficiencies, this species is listed as DD, due to a lack of information regarding its present day distribution, specific habitat preferences, and potential threats.

Chanterelle species


Geographic range

Only three specimens of this species appear to be known, all from the same location. These specimens were found in India, Himachal Pradesh, Shimla, Kufri forest, at coordinates N 30°00′  E 77°.15′ at an altitude of 1700 m, on the 3rd July 2007, 25th July 2008, and on the 14th August 2009. Further information regarding this species’ present day distribution is lacking.


Population and Trends

Information regarding the threats affecting this species is lacking, and so the current population trends of this species remain uncertain at this time.

Population Trend: Uncertain


Habitat and Ecology

This species has been found growing in a caespitose to gregarious mode on the soil under Quercus leucotrichophora.


Threats

Information regarding the threats to this species, or those affecting Quercus leucotrichophora (with which this species associates), is lacking and is likely to remain as such without further research.


Conservation Actions


Research needed

Further research into this species’ distribution, habitat preferences, and potential threats is required in order to build an accurate assessment of this species.
