Collection 19337 was collected by R. Morrison (RHM-18-22) on 23rd October 2018 in Sudden Valley, Whatcom County, Washington, UNITED STATES (approx. 48.7131°N, 122.3547°W, altitude approximately 225 m above sea level - Google maps). The ectomycorrhizal family Salicaceae (genus Populus) was present.
The surrounding habitat was described as not recorded with a substrate of mossy soil.
According to the GPS data the collection was in the Puget lowland 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).
