- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 16107 was collected by N. Siegel (1350) on 10th November 2014 in Boise Creek Campground, Willow Creek, California, UNITED STATES (approx. 40.9451°N, 123.6578°W, altitude approximately 290 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Ericaceae (genus Arbutus) and Fagaceae (genus Quercus) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as deciduous woodland, 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 Klamath-Siskiyou 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).
