Fragile amanita  (Amanita friabilis)

Fragile amanita is threatened by habitat disturbance in the form of wetland drainage, eutrophication of surface water and by the decline in its host tree, both through deforestation and the planting of other tree species such as Populus spp. and Picea spp. (4).

The fragile amanita 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)(6). Proposed conservation measures include the restoration of ground water levels and the protection of appropriate forest sites (4).
