Collection 1000470 was collected by A.H. Smith (88315) on 12th October 1977 in Stinchfield Woods, NW of Dexter, Washtenaw County, Michigan, UNITED STATES (approx. 42.4028°N, 83.9247°W, altitude approximately 300 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Pinaceae (genus Picea) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as not recorded.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Southern Great Lakes 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).
