List of fungi by conservation status explained

, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluated the conservation status of 280 fungus species.[1]

Previously in the 2017-3 release, the IUCN evaluated the conservation status of 56 fungus species.[2] One subspecies, that of Pleurotus nebrodensis, also was evaluated but has since been removed. At the time no subpopulations were evaluated.

, the New Zealand Threat Classification System listed 1512 species and 39 subspecies of fungi, with 65 species considered Threatened.[3] [4]
