Steps to reproduce
To determine the spatial distribution of L. deliciosus an array of 173 temporary sampling units, each measuring 100 m² (10 × 10 m), was randomly established across the study area. Given the inventory's primary objective to delineate spatial distribution areas, the data collection protocol focused solely on recording the presence or absence of L. deliciosus sporocarps within each sampling unit without physically removing them.
