- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 14262 was collected by S. Biancardini on 21st November 2013 in Soveria, Corsica, FRANCE (approx. 42.3565°N, 9.176°E, altitude approximately 440 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Fagaceae (genus Quercus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as not recorded.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Tyrrhenian-Adriatic sclerophyllous and 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).
