Assessment Notes
Justification
This species found over a very broad area, but is uncommon across the whole range. It does occur with multiple species of Nothofagaceae host trees, though, and is not thought to be under significant threat. It is assessed as Least Concern.
Taxonomic notes
This species was originally described as Pholiota psathyrelloides Singer (Singer 1969). The species was recently transferred to the genus Psathyloma as Psathyloma psathyrelloides (Singer) Kuhar & Nouhra, in Kuhar et al. (N.Z. Journal of Botany 57(4): 266 (2019)).
