  • arrow_drop_downarrow_drop_upHabitat and distribution
    Hebeloma albomarginatum's preferred habitat appears to be mixed woodland with soil or grassy, mossy soil. Where only one possible associate was recorded, the most commonly recorded associate was Populus (29.4%) but Picea (29.4%), Quercus (23.5%), Pinus (5.9%), Tilia (5.9%) and Abies (5.9%) were also recorded. In these cases the most commonly recorded families were Pinaceae (52.2%), Salicaceae (26.1%) and Fagaceae (17.4%). We have additional records where Salix (14.6%), Alnus (4.9%), Betula (4.9%), Carya (2.4%), Arbutus (2.4%), Fagus (2.4%) and Tsuga (2.4%) were recorded as possible associates, but in these cases a number of possible associates were mentioned. Overall the most commonly recorded families are Pinaceae (63.4%), Salicaceae (43.9%) and Fagaceae (19.5%) The growth habit of our collections was often scattered, occasionally gregarious or solitary and rarely caespitose.

    According to our current collections, the species is found only in Northern America. On the continent, collections has been found in the WWF biomes 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). Use this webtool to explore the ecoregions visually or see a full list of current ecoregions on Wikipedia. temperate conifer forests (47.3%), temperate broadleaf & mixed forests (21.8%) and boreal forests/taiga (21.8%), specifically including the ecoregions: Arizona Mountains forests (14.5%) and Colorado Rockies forests (12.7%). From collector information, it appears collections have been found in the 1.1 Forest – Boreal (45.7%) and 1.4 Forest – Temperate (37.1%) IUCN habitats 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.. Within Northern America we have records from Southwestern U.S.A. (Arizona and California), Northwestern U.S.A. (Colorado, Washington and Oregon), Subarctic America (Yukon and Alaska), Western Canada (Alberta and British Columbia), North-central U.S.A. (Minnesota, Wisconsin and Missouri), Eastern Canada (Quebec and Ontario), Northeastern U.S.A. (Ohio and Michigan) and Southeastern U.S.A. (Tennessee).
