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.
Tulostoma fimbriatum es un hongo pedo pedunculado con un pequeño saco esporífero redondo elevado sobre un tallo esbelto, que crece en suelos secos, arenosos o calcáreos en hábitats abiertos como dunas, pastizales cortos y estepas en Europa y más allá. Libera esporas a través de una boca apical (peristoma). Clasificado como En Peligro, esta especie distintiva está amenazada por la pérdida de pastizales cortos y abiertos y la estabilización de arenas.
