- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 14376 was collected by H.J. Beker, L. Davies on 11th October 2014 in Gifford Pinchot Nat Forest, Mile marker 4., Washington, UNITED STATES (46.7349°N, 121.9279°W, altitude approximately 535 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Salicaceae (genus Populus) and Pinaceae (genus Tsuga) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as coniferous woodland with a substrate of grassy, mossy 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 Central-Southern Cascades 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).
