- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 16108 was collected by N. Siegel (TEL-001-15) on 12th August 2015 in Telluride Ski Mountain, Telluride, Colorado, UNITED STATES (approx. 37.9365°N, 107.8464°W, altitude approximately 2900 m above sea level - Google maps). No ectomycorrhizal plants were recorded.
The surrounding habitat was described as subalpine shrubland, 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. 3.3: Shrubland – Boreal.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Colorado Rockies 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).
