Distributed across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
American Bald Eagle
The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
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.
