Seidigweiße Gewebehaut

Athelia bombacina is a corticioid basidiomycete in the family Atheliaceae, producing thin, white resupinate fruitbodies on decaying wood and bark in forest habitats. It can act as a mycoparasite on other fungi and is known to produce enzymes that degrade fungal cell walls. Assessed as Data Deficient, its actual distribution and ecological role in European forests are not well characterized.

Grosse Tümmler, Grosstümmler

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.
