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.

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
