This Conservation Assessment (CA) was prepared to address the fungi included in the Oregon and Washington Bureau of Land Management Special Status and Region 6 Forest Service Sensitive Species Programs. This assessment does not make any commitment or allocation of resources nor does it represent a management decision by the US Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management. Although the best scientific information available was used, and appropriate experts were consulted, significant new information may arise, and the assessment may need to be revised. Questions or information updates related to this document should be directed to the Interagency Special Status and Sensitive Species Conservation Planning Coordinator (FS Region 6 and BLM OR/WA) in Portland, Oregon:  http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/sfpnw/issssp/contactus/ .

Species covered in this Conservation Assessment include all of those listed as Sensitive by the BLM and Forest Service in Oregon and Washington, as well as those fungi species listed as Survey and Manage, as of April 2020. This document provides an overview and general discussion of the fungi addressed in Appendices I and II.   Appendix I has been modified in this April 2020 update, to reflect the current list of Sensitive fungi species in Oregon., Each of the Sensitive species have individual Species Fact Sheets that have been created that are located on the Interagency Special Status and Sensitive Species web site:  http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/sfpnw/issssp/ .
