Habitat and distribution

The fruit bodies of Hydnellum pecki are found growing solitary, scattered, or clustered together on the ground under conifers, often among mosses and pine needle litter. H. peckii is a "late-stage" fungus that, in boreal forests dominated by jack pine, typically begins associating with more mature hosts once the canopy has closed.[23] A preference for mountainous or subalpine ecosystems has been noted.[7]

The fungus has a wide distribution in North America, and is particularly common in the Pacific Northwest;[24] its range extends north to Alaska and east to North Carolina.[9] In the Puget Sound area of the U.S. state of Washington, it is found in association with Douglas-fir, fir, and hemlock.[5] Along the Oregon Coast it has been collected under lodgepole pine.[13] In addition to North America, the mushroom is widespread in Europe, and its presence has been documented in Italy,[25] Germany,[26] and Scotland.[27] The species is common in the latter location, but becoming increasingly rare in several European countries, such as Norway,[28] The Netherlands,[29] and the Czech Republic.[30] Increased pollution in central Europe has been suggested as one possible factor in the mushroom's decline there.[27] Reports from Iran in 2008[31] and Korea in 2010[32] were the first outside Europe and North America.
