Crested Myna

Crested Myna (Acridotheres cristatellus) is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List. Widespread and abundant across its range, with stable populations and no immediate conservation concerns.

Entoloma versatile is a small to medium-sized Entoloma mushroom with variable coloration in shades of grey, brown, or olive, and the characteristic pink spore print of the genus. It grows in grasslands, woodland edges, and scrubby habitats across temperate Europe. Near Threatened, its rarity is linked to the decline of ancient, unimproved grasslands under agricultural intensification.
