While the habitat is primarily coastal lowland of several types, it is geologically young having been formed by glacial deposition and retreat about 14,000 years ago. Some flora of the southeastern Piedmont and Coastal Plain reach their northern limit in this ecoregion, and that appears true of some macrofungi as well. The Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens region comprises over 100,000 acres of protected oak-pine forests with a mild maritime climate that permits fungal collecting into December. Some of the unique ecological features that distinguish this ecoregion from mainland ecoregions include its stunted pine and oak forests, numerous kettle ponds, and unique habitats in salt and freshwater marshes, swamps, bogs, and sand dunes.Long Island Mycological Clubjlhorman@optonline.nethttp://limyco.org/Joel Hormanjlhorman@optonline.netcontentProviderTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the 2024-03-28T05:40:33-07:00MyCoPortal - e664432c-cf2c-4e5a-b18d-a2fa1f82425bUTF-8Darwin Core Archivehttps://www.mycoportal.org/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=88LIMCLong Island Mycological Clubhttps://www.mycoportal.org/portal/self/content/collicon/lmic-lmic.jpghttp://limyco.org/http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Joel Hormanjlhorman@optonline.netThis list represents the species of macrofungi collected and documented by members of the Long Island Mycological Club since its inception in 1973, mostly in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, although Queens county (part of NYC but geographically Long Island) is also represented.
