Habitat

Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.

Range

Distributed across Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Hyphoderma occidentale is a corticioid fungus in the family Polyporaceae, assessed as Data Deficient (DD). It grows as a thin, resupinate (crust-like) fruiting body on dead wood in forest habitats. Insufficient data on its distribution and population size make comprehensive conservation assessment difficult.

Kopfzystiden-Stachelhaut

Hyphoderma orphanellum is a corticioid fungus in the family Polyporaceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It forms thin, resupinate fruiting bodies on dead wood of broadleaf trees in mature or old-growth forest environments. Its near-threatened status reflects its sensitivity to the removal of deadwood and disturbance of old-growth forests.
