Komodo Dragon

El dragón de Komodo es el lagarto viviente más grande. Se encuentra únicamente en unas pocas islas indonesias.

Mollisia ramealis es un pequeño hongo disco de color gris a gris olivaceo que produce apotecios en forma de copa sobre material vegetal herboxes y leñoso muerto. Habita bosques templados y setos de Europa, creciendo sobre ramitas y tallos muertos. Este ascomiceto saprotrofo descompone tejido vegetal muerto en ambientes humedos del sotobosque forestal.
