Assessment Notes

The content on this page is fetched from The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/226991604/227536835

Justification

Since the description of Cantherellus candidissimus there do not appear to be any subsequent records of the species. There is a lack of information on the habitat and ecology of the species, and it is not possible to assess the status of its population or distribution. It is therefore assessed as Data Deficient.

Geographic range

It was described from near Loděnice in present-day Czechia (Velenovský 1922).

Population and Trends

It is only known from type specimen.

Population Trend: unknown

Habitat and Ecology

The type specimen was described on the ground between herbs and grasses on a dry, siliceous sunny hill. The extent of habitat and grassland types is unknown.

Threats

There are no confirmed threats due to the limited information about the species' habitat, but if primarily a grassland species it could be sensitive to changes in agricultural management and chemical inputs.

Conservation Actions

Confirmation is required of taxonomic status, population and distribution data and ecology to better assess the species.
