Larix decidua (European larch) |
European larch is a gorgeous conifer native to the Alps and Carpathians, found in montane forests from about 4600 feet to about 7000 feet. It is usually mixed with spruces and firs at lower elevations, but often grows in pure stands at higher elevations. In northeastern North America and the Midwest it is sometimes planted as an ornamental, and has been reported as an occasional escapee. Mycorrhizal mushrooms associating with European larch are numerous, and include several species of Suillus—including Suillus bresadolae, Suillus cavipes, Suillus grevillei, and Suillus tridentinus. |
