Collection 1000372 was collected by A.H. Smith (66049) on 20th August 1962 in Valley County, Pearl Creek, Payette National Forest, near McCall, Idaho, UNITED STATES (approx. 45.1008°N, 116.0328°W, altitude approximately 1680 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Pinaceae (genus Picea) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as subalpine woodland streamside, corresponding to the IUCN habitat We map from the collector's description of the habitat to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s definition using a standardised set of rules. Please see this page for a full list of IUCN habitats. 1.1: Forest – Boreal.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the South Central Rockies 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).
