Kozlov’s Pygmy Jerboa

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Hydropus trichoderma is a small, saprotrophic mushroom with a delicate, slender stipe and a pale, convex cap that grows on decaying woody debris in forest habitats. It is recorded from temperate European forests and contributes to wood decomposition in woodland ecosystems. Its Endangered status reflects rarity and the decline of undisturbed, mature forest with adequate deadwood.
