Usage
data(sporophores)
Arguments
Format
A multitype spatial point pattern (an object of class "ppp"
with factor-valued marks indicating the species).
Spatial coordinates are given in centimetres.
Levels of the species variable are

Details
Ford, Mason and Pelham (1980) studied the spatial locations
of sporophores of three species of mycorrhizal fungi
distributed around a young birch tree in agricultural soil.
The dataset given here is the spatial pattern
in the fifth year after the tree was planted.
The species are
Laccaria laccata, Lactarius pubescens
and Hebloma spp.
