Assessment Notes
Taxonomic notes
Geastrum dolomiticum belongs to the former G. minimum species complex. It is distinguished by exoperidial features (shape of crystals) and molecular data.
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
A newly described species known only from a restricted area in Hungary. It is potentially overlooked and might thus occur elsewhere in suitable habitats. With the current knowledge it cannot be evaluated: NE
Geographic range
Geastrum dolomiticum is currently only known from Western-central Hungary. A record from China listed in GBIF database is ambiguous since molecular data indicates its close relationship (>99% identity) with the widely distributed G. granulosum.
Population and Trends
No data
Population Trend: Uncertain
Habitat and Ecology
Geastrum dolomiticum grows in small groups in calcareous open rocky grassland on dolomite bedrock.
Threats
Conservation Actions
The known localities should be regularly monitored and the species should be searched for elsewhere in suitable habitats.
Research needed
Use and Trade
None
