Ecological descriptions of Pacific golden chanterelle (<em>Cantharellus formosus</em>) habitat and estimates of its extent in Haida Gwaii
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ecologically based information on golden chanterelle (Cantharellus formosus) habitat is needed to guide decision making by forest managers. We described soils, plant communities, and stand characteristics of productive mushroom sites and used these features in a mapping exercise to estimate the extent of C. formosus habitat over a portion of the Haida Gwaii islands. Chanterelle sites were located at low elevations (approximately 100 m) on well-drained soils with silt loam to sandy loam textures and thin forest floors. Plant communities were sparse and characterized by low herb and shrub cover with extensive carpets of feathermosses. The stands were productive second-growth western hemlock and Sitka spruce, ranging in age from 35 to 50 years, and the sites were strongly mounded from extensive blowdown events or logging disturbances. The site and soil properties were consistent with the zonal (01) site series (western hemlock - Sitka spruce - lanky moss) of the submontane variant of the wet hypermaritime Coastal Western Hemlock (CWHwh1) subzone. A preliminary assessment of C. formosus habitat around Skidegate Lake indicated approximately 1785 ha of mesic forests (equal to 21% of the assessed forest area) with a major portion covered by immature stands conducive to commercial picking. This information on the nature and extent of C. formosus habitat provides the first step in successful co-management of timber and mushroom resources.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
