Panda Gigante

El panda gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) es un animal emblemático de China, célebre por su pelaje blanco y negro y su dieta basada casi exclusivamente en bambú. Su estado de conservación es vulnerable (VU), es el animal bandera de la conservación internacional de la vida silvestre, y su población ha experimentado cierta recuperación en los últimos años.

Leptosporomyces septentrionalis es un basidiomiceto corticiado que forma costras delgadas de color blanquecino a crema sobre madera en descomposición en hábitats norteños. Habita bosques boreales y templados del norte de Escandinavia y zonas forestales frías relacionadas. Este hongo saprotrófico descompone troncos caídos y ramas en ecosistemas forestales del norte.
