American Bald Eagle

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Psilachnum inquilinum is a minute discomycete fungus producing tiny, pale, cup-shaped fruiting bodies on decaying herbaceous plant material, particularly old stems and leaves. It is found in moist, sheltered habitats across temperate Europe, where it contributes to the decomposition of plant debris. Its small size and specialized substrate make it inconspicuous and rarely collected.
