Justification
Cantharellus flavolateritius appears to be a common species in hardwood forests in the eastern United States. The actual distribution remains poorly known, due to the limited morphological features which distinguish it from C. lateritius. The limited data suggest that this is a common and widespread species which occurs in a stable habitat; therefore it is assessed as Least Concern (LC).Taxonomic notes
Cantharellus flavolateritius was a cryptic member of the Cantharellus lateritius complex until described in Buyck et al. (2016).Geographic range
Cantharellus flavolateritius is a recently described species, formerly lumped under the name C. lateritius. Distinguishing C. flavolateritius from C. lateritius strictly by macro-morphology features is not possible, so the exact extent of the range of C. flavolateritius remains poorly-known. Sequenced confirmed collections come from North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, and Indiana (MyCoPortal 2021) suggesting it is widespread in the eastern USA.Population and Trends
The population status of Cantharellus flavolateritius is poorly known, being recently described, and most collections have been recorded under the name C. lateritius. Based on the available data (Buyck et al. 2016, MyCoPortal 2021) it can be inferred that it is a common and widespread species, occurring in a stable habitat.
Population Trend: stable
