Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

A very small population restricted to sand steppe habitats in a national park in central Hungary. May have been overlooked in other similar habitats in Central-East Central Europe (Pannonian steppe region).
Currently known from two adjacent localites world wide.
EOO -
AOO 8 km2
Its habitat rely on traditional land-use (grazing) maintaining a low and scanty vegetation of steppe grasses and low herbs/mosses/lichens.
Suggested assession: DD


Geographic range

Known from 2 locations in a restricted in central Hungary. Potentially overlooked in similar habitats in other parts of Central - East-Central Europe (Pannonian steppe region)


Population and Trends

Small and isolated population.
Habitats rely on traditional land use in sand steppe habitats (eg sheep grazing) that keeps the landscape open and with a low and patchy vegetation.  All known locations to date are situated within a national park.  Population trend unknown.
EOO -
AOO 8 km2

Population Trend: Uncertain


Habitat and Ecology

Saprotrophic in arid sand steppe habitats with a low and patchy vegetation of steppe grasses and low herbs/lichens/mosses. Fruitbodies appear in patches with more or less bare sand. Xerothermophilous.


Threats

Changing of traditional land-use causing overgrowth of sand steppe habitats. No immediate threat as known localities are situated in a national park. Dedicated search missions are needed to establish its total distribution.


Conservation Actions

Dedicated search activities to investigate its potential distrubution range.
