Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.

Hydropus trichoderma es un pequeño hongo saprotrófico con un estípite delicado y esbelto y un sombrero pálido y convexo que crece sobre restos leñosos en descomposición en hábitats forestales. Está registrado en bosques templados europeos y contribuye a la descomposición de madera en ecosistemas boscosos. Su estado de En Peligro refleja su rareza y el declive de bosques maduros no perturbados con suficiente madera muerta.
