Assessment Notes
The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/189958732/217823771
Justification
Currently, Cantharellus minutissimus appears to be known from the type specimen collected at Dja Biosphere Reserve, Cameroon. If it were to be restricted to this one site then it could be highly threatened. However, it is recorded from forest with Uapaca sp., and so could be widespread in Central and West Africa. Given the high levels of uncertainty C. minutissimus is assessed as Data Deficient.Geographic range
From the type description it appears as if this species is only known from Dja Biosphere Reserve, Cameroon (Buyck et al. 2016). However, it occurs in forest with Uapaca sp. (Buyck et al. 2016), so it potentially could have a wide range in Central and West Africa.Population and Trends
