Green Sea Turtle

The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.

Russula firmula is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom in the family Russulaceae, producing firm-fleshed fruitbodies with a compact, brittle texture characteristic of the genus. It forms mycorrhizal associations with conifers, particularly in boreal and montane forest ecosystems. Assessed as Data Deficient, little is known about its precise distribution and population ecology across its European range.
