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.

Rhodocollybia prolixa es un hongo saprofito con sombrero de color marron palido y un largo estipe fibroso, que crece sobre hojarasca en descomposicion y restos lenoosos en bosques templados europeos. Contribuye a la descomposicion de la materia organica en el suelo forestal. Clasificada como Vulnerable, esta especie esta amenazada por la perdida de habitat y los cambios en la gestion forestal que reducen la acumulacion de hojarasca organica.
