Assessment Notes
Justification
Cantharellus corallinus is a member of the C. cinnabarinus complex. Currently known from Missouri to Indiana, USA, but being recently described (2016) data are lacking, and the range is likely to extend throughout the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic region. Until the range, population size and habitat associations can be better defined, this species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
Cantharellus corallinus is a recently described member of the C. cinnabarinus complex (Buyck et al. 2016), and for years has been recorded under the name C. cinnabarinus.Geographic range
The range of this species is largely unknown, being a recently described member of the Cantharellus cinnabarinus complex. It was described from near St Louis, Missouri, USA. Voucher and sequenced confirmed collections occur east into Indiana. The species' range is probably much wider than currently known, likely throughout the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic region.Population and Trends
Being a recently described, cryptic species little is known of this species' population status or trends. Distinguishing this species from Cantharellus cinnabarinus from photographs or in the field will go a long way in starting to understand population dynamics.
