Blauwal

The largest animal ever known to have lived on Earth, blue whales can reach 33 meters and 200 tonnes — their hearts alone weigh as much as a small car. Found in all oceans, they migrate between polar feeding grounds and tropical breeding areas. Filter feeders consuming up to 4 tonnes of krill daily. Endangered, with global populations estimated at 10,000–25,000 after near-extinction from 20th-century whaling.

Bereiftknolliger Risspilz

Inocybe tjallingiorum is a small to medium-sized fibrecap mushroom with a fibrous, silky brown cap and gills that mature to brownish tones, growing in ectomycorrhizal association with deciduous trees in European forests. Like most Inocybe species, it is considered toxic and should not be consumed. Its distribution centres on temperate European woodlands with mature trees.
