Baishan Fir

The Baishan Fir (Abies beshanzuensis) is a species in the genus Abies. It is currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in temperate and boreal forests, often at higher elevations.

Symphytocarpus amaurochaetoides is a myxomycete (slime mould) producing dark, clustered sporangia on decaying wood and plant debris in forest environments. It belongs to a group of organisms that alternate between a motile, feeding plasmodium and a reproductive sporangial stage. Like other myxomycetes, it contributes to microbial ecology by feeding on bacteria and detritus in woodland habitats.
