- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 1000224 was collected by G. Lucchini, det: L. Quadraccia on 5th November 1980 in Mendrisio (svizzera), SWITZERLAND (45.5222°N, 9.0038°E, altitude approximately 810 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Pinaceae (genus Tsuga) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as not recorded with a substrate of grassy soil.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Po Basin mixed 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).
