What is the biosafety level and CFIA risk group of Rhizopogon luteolus?

Health Canada's ePATHogen database classifies Rhizopogon luteolus — also listed under the synonym Rhizopogon induratus — as Risk Group 1 (RG1) for both human and animal exposure, with a Containment Level 1 designation. The organism is categorized as a fungal agent within the ePATHogen system.

For growers, formulators, or safety reviewers researching Rhizopogon luteolus biosafety level or looking up whether Rhizopogon induratus poses a handling concern, this RG1/RG1 ePATHogen record is the Canadian regulatory reference. Both risk group ratings are RG1, and no elevated containment level is indicated under the current classification.
