Collection 14308 was collected by A. Voitk (08.09.24.av03) on 24th September 2008 in GMNP Stanleyville Trail, Newfoundland and Labrador, CANADA (approx. 49.465°N, 57.7704°W, altitude approximately 65 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Betulaceae (genus Betula) and Pinaceae (genera Larix, Picea and Abies) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as mixed woodland with a substrate of mossy 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 Koppen climate code Dfb (Cold, no dry season, warm summer).
