Assessment Notes

Justification

This species appears to have only been recorded from North Carolina, USA. There is very little data available regarding the ecology of the species and it is not possible to accurately assess the population size and trends, as well as the potential threats the species may face. With this high level of uncertainty, Cantharellus helotioides is assessed as Data Deficient.


Taxonomic notes

The original description of this species by de Schweinitz (1834) spelled the name as Cantharellus helosioides.


Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?

Chanterelle project


Geographic range

The type for this collection for this species is from Salem (assumed to now be Winston-Salem) in North Carolina (see de Schweinitz 1934).


Population and Trends

There is no information regarding population size and trends.

Population Trend: Uncertain


Habitat and Ecology

It was collected on rotting branches (see de Schweinitz 1934), and so is suspected to be associated with wooded habitats.

Temperate Forest

Threats

Further information is required before an accurate assessment of its threats can be made.
