Description

Collecting details

Collection 12314 was collected by S.A. Elborne (SAE-52-ISL), det: J. Vesterholt on 9th August 1984 in Hallormstadur, ICELAND (approx. 65.1243°N, 14.6773°W, altitude approximately 160 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Betulaceae (genus Betula) and Salicaceae (genus Salix) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as alpine measdow streamside.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Iceland boreal birch forests and alpine tundra 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).
