Komodo Dragon

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

Suillus amabilis es un boleto micorrizico de la familia Suillaceae, que forma asociaciones simbioticas con coniferas, en particular pinos. Produce cuerpos fructiferos coloridos con una superficie del sombrero viscosa y poros en lugar de laminas en el envez, caracteristicos del genero. Su relacion micorrizica es esencial para el intercambio de nutrientes entre el hongo y el arbol hospedador en los ecosistemas forestales.
