Weißkopf-Seeadler

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Dunkler Lacktrichterling

Laccaria purpureobadia is a mycorrhizal mushroom in the Laccaria genus, displaying purplish-brown to lilac tones on its cap and widely spaced, thick gills. It grows in association with trees in forest habitats, forming ectomycorrhizal partnerships important for tree nutrient uptake. Listed as Data Deficient, its full distribution and ecological requirements remain incompletely documented.
