Boletopsis spp.  (Boletopsis grisea)

This fungus is threatened by the destruction of the pine forests of its habitat (2). Air pollution and the overuse of fertilisers pose additional threats to survival (2).

More sustainable forest management and a reduction in air pollution would help to secure the future of this fungus (2). In addition, Boletopsis grisea is a candidate species for listing in Appendix I of the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, otherwise known as the Bern Convention (3) (5).
