The Archbold's Bowerbird (Archboldia papuensis) is a species in the genus Archboldia. It is currently classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

Trichia contorta is a myxomycete producing clusters of small, cylindrical to pear-shaped sporangia on decaying wood, often in early succession on freshly fallen logs.

This species is found across temperate and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere.
