Chinese Jumping Mouse

The Chinese Jumping Mouse (Eozapus setchuanus) is a species in the genus Eozapus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

Physarum viride is a vibrantly coloured myxomycete (slime mould) producing small, bright yellow-green sporangia on decaying organic matter including dead wood, leaves, and litter in forest habitats.

This species is found in moist woodlands across temperate and tropical zones.
