Babouin chacma

The Chacma Baboon (Papio ursinus) is a species in the genus Papio. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

Trechispora microspora is a corticioid fungus producing very small spores, as its name indicates.

This saprotrophic fungus decomposes dead woody material, contributing to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.
