Braune Nadelschnecke

The Brown Point Snail (Acicula fusca) is a species in the genus Acicula. It is currently classified as Extinct on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in terrestrial and aquatic habitats including forests and freshwater.

Tuber maculatum, the whitish truffle or spotted truffle, is an underground fruiting ascomycete with a white to cream-colored exterior marked by dark patches giving it a mottled appearance. It inhabits calcareous soils in temperate European forests, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with oak, hazel, and other hardwood trees. This subterranean fungus forms nutrient-exchange partnerships with tree roots and disperses spores via burrowing animals attracted to its pungent aroma.
