Substrate: soil – shaded and weedy [especially ground Ivy, or creeping Charlie (Glechoma hederacea)] beneath Acer pal-matum var. osakazuki but not far from a large Deodar cedar (Cedrus deodara), a smaller red oak (Quercus rubra, syn. Quercus borealis) and a smaller rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum). An ectomycorrhizal association is suggested with one of these or with a variety of other small shrubs and trees nearby.
