Collection 16492 was collected by M. Maletti (2676), det: E. Grilli (091116.02) on 16th November 2009 in Roncosambaccio, Fano, Marches, ITALY (43.1708°N, 12.9566°E, altitude approximately 735 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Salicaceae (genera Populus and Salix) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as deciduous woodland with a substrate of boggy 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 Italian sclerophyllous and semi-deciduous 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).
