Bear-cat

The Bear-cat (Arctictis binturong) is a species in the genus Arctictis. It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Pyrenopeziza carduorum is a small discomycete fungus that grows on dead stems of thistle (Carduus) and related plants in open and semi-open habitats. It produces tiny, dark, cup-shaped fruiting bodies on dried herbaceous material. This saprotrophic species contributes to the decomposition of tough, fibrous plant stems in grasslands and woodland margins.
