It is rare, but widespread in central-southern Europe and in the Russian Caucasus and Turkey. The species is reported to be in decline in some countries and is included in Red Lists in most countries of occurrence. The conservation status of its most common habitat is reported as “unfavourable-inadequate” by EU Habitat Directive mid term report . Major threats relate to forest management and forest exploitation, especially conversion of broadleaf forests to conifer plantations. It is assessed as near threatened under criterion C1 because population size is estimated at <20,000 and past and future estimated population decline ca. 10 % in a 50-year period

The 599 fungal species found in 11 permanent plots include ubiquitous taxa and taxa linked preferentially or exclusively to certain types of forest ecosystems. Fungal 1 biodiversity was particularly high in evergreen oak forests of the Grosseto coast. Classification of samples brought out affinities and differences between the various fungal communities. Ordering by detrended correspondence analysis revealed that the relevés were disposed along a climate-altitude gradient. The health status of the forests, evaluated according to criteria proposed by Central European authors, was generally found to be good. The period of major fungal fruiting was autumn, though the duration of fruiting varied between different environments: in high altitude and coastal environ-ments, the fungal mycelium produced carpophores nearly all year round, whereas no carpophores...

It grows in few localities in Italy and Macedonia on Juniper excelsa, J. macrocarpa, J. phoenicea, and J. turbinata from the sea level up to 200 m of altitude. The habitats, coastal dunes (Code 2250), arborescent matorral (code 5210) (Natura2000) and the Macedonian forests with Juniperus excelsa, are in danger of disappearing. Moreover old juniper shrubs or trees, the preferred substrate for the growth of the fungus, are threatened and declining. It has been suggested that such Mediterranean veteran juniper habitat represents a glacial refugium and this habitat supports an entire suite of fungi with highly restricted distributions (Bernicchia et al. 2011). It is assessed as EN C2a(i),

The Fungi kingdom includes producers of goods and services for ecosystems and organisms widely used in the food industry. Besides, macrofungi are recognized as non-timber forest products and could be utilized as agents of environmental management through weed biocontrol and environmental improvement. Moreover, the cultivation of fungi, in particular truffles, can provide an important income in agroecosystems, especially in marginal areas, along with the development of new technologies to produce novel products from fungi.
