- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 12788 was collected by J. Vesterholt (08-491) on 13th November 2008 in Konsko, NORTH MACEDONIA (41.1887°N, 22.3249°E, altitude approximately 635 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Betulaceae (genus Betula) and Fagaceae (genus Quercus) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as mixed woodland with a substrate of calcareous, grassy soil and litter, 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 Balkan 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).
