Clitocybe subditopoda

Estimated range is greater than 1,000,000 square miles worldwide, but the species only appears to be located in coastal and mid-elevation conifer forests in the northern lower 48 of the United States and in Quebec, Canada. Long-term and short-term trends unknown. Widespread, low-severity threat. There is one protected occurrence each in Washington and New Hampshire. Moderately vulnerable. Narrow environmental specificity. Because of a lack of collections and information about this species and the widespread possible habitat for this species, the guide for ranking poorly known species was used to assign the Grank.

Estimated range greater than 1,000,000 square miles worldwide. Primarily found in the northern coastal and mid-elevation conifer forests of the lower 48 of the United States--from the east to the west coast--and in Quebec, Canada.

Estimated number of occurrences is 15. The ISMS database contains 9 records. The ISMS map shows 2 sites on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington (representing two occurences) and one near Arcata, California (representing 2 occurrences). The Handbook to Strategy 1 Fungal Species in the Northwest Forest Plan notes 3-4 sites on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and 1-2 sites in Clackamas County, Oregon. Other areas where this species has been noted include New Hampshire, Michigan, New York and Montreal, Canada.

Moderate, non-imminent threat. Widespread logging, road and trail construction, or other activities that destroy the mossy, shaded substrates and Picea and Pinus needle beds on which this species grows, may threaten the species.
