Gigaspora rosea previously described as Gigaspora candida. Its spores are pale cream with a light pink or pale cream, with a globose to subglobose shape of approximately 206 µm

Considering the common record of this species in different ecosystems and countries I suggest its classification as LC.

The species is known from four countries in different continents but apparently
is not common.

A very common species. In Brazil, this species has records from natural and anthropized areas

In Brazil, this species is found in different Brazilian biomes: Amazon rainforest, Cerrado, Atlantic rainforest and Caatinga.

As mandatory symbionts, the threats that affect its hosts (plants) will eventually affect the associated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. However, due to the registration of Acaulospora mellea in different environments, including contaminated ones, it may be an indication that this species is more resistant to human disturbances.

The development of necessary actions for the conservation of this species means a response in the search for the improvement of the environmental quality and reduction of the anthropic pressures on the plants and the soil.

Further studies on the ecology of fungi are needed, seeking to understand how mycorrhizal fungi relate to each other, to the host and to the environment.
