Antrodiella semisupina is a small, white to cream-colored, dimidiate to resupinate polypore with tiny pores growing on dead hardwood. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests across Europe and North America, growing on dead branches and logs of deciduous trees. This saprotrophic fungus causes white-rot decay in dead hardwood substrates.

Tiger

The largest wild cat on Earth, tigers can exceed 300 kg and inhabit forests from the Russian Far East to Southeast Asia. Solitary ambush predators with distinctive orange and black striped coats that provide camouflage in dappled light. Critically endangered, with fewer than 4,000 remaining in the wild due to poaching and deforestation.
