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.

Ramaria flavescens es un hongo grande similar al coral con cuerpos fructiferos densamente ramificados de color amarillento a beige que recuerdan al coral marino. Crece en suelos forestales en asociacion con coniferas y arboles de hoja caduca en Europa templada y mediterranea. Este hongo ectomicorrizico forma asociaciones mutualistas de intercambio de nutrientes con raices de arboles y se considera en peligro en evaluaciones europeas.
