gorilla

The world's largest primate, western gorillas weigh up to 180 kg and inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of equatorial Africa. Primarily herbivorous, living in family groups led by a silverback male who protects the troop and mediates social conflicts. Critically Endangered, with populations threatened by deforestation, poaching for bushmeat, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease.

Tubulicrinis sororius is a thin, whitish corticioid basidiomycete forming flat resupinate crusts on dead conifer wood in boreal forests. It inhabits the undersides of fallen conifer logs and branches in Scandinavian and northern European boreal forest zones. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes conifer wood through white-rot enzymatic processes.
