- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 1000222 was collected by L. Quadraccia on 30th October 1986 in Castelporziano (Roma), Lazio, ITALY (approx. 41.7441°N, 12.403°E, altitude approximately 60 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Fagaceae (genus Quercus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as not recorded with a substrate of boggy soil.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Italian sclerophyllous and semi-deciduous forests WWF ecoregion The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) have divided the world into 867 terrestrial ecoregions. The ecoregion here is estimated by mapping from the GPS coordinates of the collection using data made available by Dinerstein et al (2017).
