Conservation of fungi is important and, through our work with Lost Fungi, we hope to encourage you to learn about local fungi that are likely to be rare and threatened.  Please record them when you can. This work contributes to the global effort in monitoring biodiversity, particularly that done through the IUCN Red List process.

Associated with grasslands world wide.

THREATS

On a world-wide scale, threats to the species are not sufficiently known. The sites where this species occurs in Europe are threatened mainly by intensification or cessation of grassland management, eutrophication and afforestation.

CONSERVATION ACTIONS

Research on the identity and distribution of M. radiosa as well as on its ecology and habitat requirements is recommended.
