- arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upCollecting details
Collection 18373 was collected by H.J. Beker, L. Davies, N. Burghardt, J. Burghardt on 18th October 2018 in Stokes State Park, New Jersey, UNITED STATES (41.2081°N, 74.7756°W, altitude approximately 255 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal families Betulaceae (genus Betula), Fagaceae (genera Fagus and Quercus) and Pinaceae (genus Pinus) were present.
The surrounding habitat was described as mixed woodland with a substrate of 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 Appalachian-Blue Ridge 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).
