Coastal sand ecosystems in BC [British Columbia] are not well studied relative to forested, grassland, or meadow ecosystems. They contain sparsely-vegetated or herbaceous ecological communities, as well as associated forest, wetland, and bluff communities. Coastal sand ecosystems occur at the intersection of marine and terrestrial realms where ecological patterns are structured by geomorphic and oceanographic disturbance processes.  1, record 1, English, - coastal%20sands%20ecosystem

On the soggy, mossy meadows we found an abundance of Laccaria sp. B and a small brown cortinar, possibly Cortinarius veronabrunneus. Ascomycetes included yellow discs of Discinella terrestris, brown discs of another species of Discinella and of Jafneadelphus asperulus, distinguishable from J. ferrugineus (in Bruce Fuhrer [1993] A Field Companion to Australian Fungi ...) by its smaller ascospores which have smaller and more crowded warts or tubercles.  3, record 3, English, - mossy%20meadow
