Justification
Cantharellus subfloridulus is a chanterelle mushroom only known from Central African Republic in Dzanga-Sangha Forest Reserve. If it were to be restricted to this one site it could be highly threatened. However, it was collected in Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest, which can be found across Central Africa; and so the species' range could be very large and it could then be Least Concern. Further research is required with regards to the full distribution of the species, and given the current uncertainty C. subfloridulus is assessed here as Data Deficient.Geographic range
Cantharellus subfloridulus is a recently described species, currently only known from Dzanga-Sangha Forest Reserve, Central African Republic (Das et al. 2018). It was collected in Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest, and so it potentially has a very wide range in Central Africa.Population and Trends
