Bactrian Deer

The Bactrian Deer (Cervus hanglu) is a species in the genus Cervus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Coprinopsis stercorea is a small, inky cap mushroom growing on herbivore dung and manure-enriched soils, as its species name implies.

This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes dung organic matter and autodigests its cap as spores mature.
