Komodo Dragon

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

Tubulicrinis sororius es un delgado basidiomiceto corticiado blanquecino que forma costras resupinadas planas sobre madera muerta de coníferas en bosques boreales. Habita la cara inferior de troncos y ramas caídas de coníferas en zonas boreales escandinavas y del norte de Europa. Este hongo saprofítico descompone la madera de coníferas mediante procesos enzimáticos de podredumbre blanca.
