Black-tufted Marmoset
The Black-tufted Marmoset (Callithrix penicillata) is a species in the genus Callithrix. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Found in Brazil.
Tuber maculatum, the whitish truffle or spotted truffle, is an underground fruiting ascomycete with a white to cream-colored exterior marked by dark patches giving it a mottled appearance. It inhabits calcareous soils in temperate European forests, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with oak, hazel, and other hardwood trees. This subterranean fungus forms nutrient-exchange partnerships with tree roots and disperses spores via burrowing animals attracted to its pungent aroma.
