The Beautiful Pearl (Agrotera nemoralis) is a species in the genus Agrotera. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Trechispora microspora is a corticioid fungus producing very small spores, as its name indicates.
