Clustered Mushroom

Agaricus cappellianus is a saprotrophic agaric fungus in the family Agaricaceae, the family containing the cultivated button mushroom (A. bisporus). Like other members of the genus Agaricus, A. cappellianus produces a cap with free gills that start out white or pink and darken to brown or blackish-brown as the spores mature. The stipe bears an annulus (ring) and is separate from the cap at maturity. A. cappellianus is known primarily from Europe, where it grows in grassy habitats, woodland edges, and gardens. The genus Agaricus is large, with hundreds of species globally, and field identification can be challenging. Important identification characters include cap color and texture, flesh-bruising reactions (yellowing or reddening), smell (anise-like vs. phenolic), spore color and size, and stipe characteristics. Some Agaricus species are edible and prized, while others contain phenolic compounds that cause gastrointestinal upset. Formal IUCN conservation status has not been assessed for A. cappellianus. The species has not been widely studied, and limited information is available on its ecology, host range, and distribution.

Epaulard

イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ（Orcinus orca）は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。
