The Buzzing Spider (Anyphaena accentuata) is a species in the genus Anyphaena. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in terrestrial habitats from forests to deserts.

Postia lowei is a soft, white to cream-colored bracket fungus forming annual, shelf-like fruiting bodies on decaying conifer wood. It inhabits boreal and montane coniferous forests, growing on dead fallen logs and stumps. This brown-rot saprotrophic fungus decomposes the cellulose of conifer wood, leaving characteristic brown cubical rot.
