Collection 1000413 was collected by V. Wells, P. Kempton (5143), det: A.H. Smith on 10th August 1971 in Anchorage, Abbott Road, Alaska, UNITED STATES (approx. 61.1375°N, 149.8054°W, altitude approximately 90 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Pinaceae (genus Picea) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as mixed woodland roadside verge with a substrate of grassy soil, 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. 1.4: Forest – Temperate.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Cook Inlet taiga 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).
