Justification
Bryoclavula phycophila is a lichenized basidiomycete described from Japan in 2020, where it has been found in two locations. More records or search efforts are needed to determine the population size and distribution. The species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
Bryoclavula phycophila is the type species of the monotypic genus Bryoclavula, described in 2020 using morphological and phylogenetic data (Masumoto and Degawa 2020).Geographic range
This species is known from the Kumamoto and Nagano (not mapped) Prefectures in Japan (Masumoto and Degawa 2020, 2021).Population and Trends
Bryoclavula phycophila has only been found in two sites in Japan. It is possible that its small size (less than 5mm) and possible confusion with other species (e.g in the genus Multiclavula) has limited the number of observations for this species, making it difficult to determine whether this species is uncommon or overlooked.
Population Trend: Unknown
