Was this shot in bay area? Assume it's California, but curious about general locale. Maybe I missed the memo or the mention in video.

Yes, I believe so. I would be surprised if they were ectomycorrhizal. I haven't looked into it.

It seems like these guys are arbuscular mycorrhizal? The Brazilian Auraucarias are anyway. This paper suggests climatic controls for mycorrhizal association, but I wonder if the ultramafic soil conditions in New Caledonia might influence that. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1128-0

Holy cow can you go down a rabbit hole on New Caledonia.
