Green Sea Turtle
La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.
Hebeloma psammophilum es un hongo agaricáceo de la familia Hymenogastraceae, evaluado como Datos Insuficientes (DD). Su nombre específico sugiere una asociación con sustratos arenosos (psamofítico), y puede formar asociaciones ectomicorrícicas con árboles en suelos arenosos. La escasez de datos de colección hace difícil una evaluación precisa de su conservación.
