Common Fieldcap

The Common Fieldcap (<em>Agrocybe pediades</em>) is a saprotrophic fungus belonging to the genus Agrocybe within the family Strophariaceae. It typically produces small, tan to pale brown cap-shaped fruiting bodies and is often found growing in clusters or scattered on lawns, grassy areas, forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil-rich ecosystems. The species typically inhabits forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems, obtaining nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter. Its geographic range includes several European countries — Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden — as well as the United States in North America. <em>Agrocybe pediades</em> is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting its broad distribution and apparent stability. Biological traits of this species, including specific data on fruiting body size, lifespan, and ecological preferences, remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Like other members of its genus, it typically fruits during warmer months and often appears after rainfall in nutrient-rich grassland and woodland habitats.

Colibrí cola rojiza

El colibri colirrojo (Amazilia tzacatl) es uno de los colibries mas comunes de Centroamerica y el noroeste de Sudamerica. Es de tamano mediano con partes superiores verdes y una distintiva cola de color naranja rufo brillante. Se distribuye desde Mexico hasta Ecuador y Trinidad en una gran variedad de habitats, incluyendo bordes de bosque, jardines, plantaciones y vegetacion secundaria desde el nivel del mar hasta los 2.100 metros. Defensor agresivo de territorios en comederos y plantas con flores, es frecuentemente observado en jardines de toda su area de distribucion. Clasificado como Preocupacion Menor.
