Chestnut-fronted Macaw

A medium-sized macaw of Central and South American tropical forests from southern Mexico to Bolivia and Brazil, chestnut-fronted macaws have predominantly green plumage with a chestnut forehead, red shoulder patches, and blue flight feathers. The smallest of the true macaws, they inhabit forest edges, savannas, and secondary woodland and often raid crops, making them locally unpopular with farmers. They are popular aviary birds, but wild populations face pressure from trapping and deforestation.

Pluteus pusillulus is a minute, saprotrophic mushroom in the family Pluteaceae, found growing on decaying wood and woody debris in humid forest environments. Its small, fragile fruitbody with a grayish-brown cap and free gills turning pink as spores mature is characteristic of the genus. This species is assessed as Data Deficient, indicating insufficient information on its distribution and ecology.
