common bubble snail

The common bubble snail (<em>Akera bullata</em>) is a marine gastropod mollusc found in the coastal waters of Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits terrestrial and aquatic environments including forests and freshwater-adjacent marine areas, often occurring in shallow subtidal and intertidal zones of temperate European seas. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the family Akeridae, the common bubble snail is characterized by its thin, fragile shell and its ability to swim briefly by flapping its large, wing-like parapodia. The species often forages on algae and detritus in sandy and muddy seafloor habitats, particularly in sheltered bays and estuaries. The common bubble snail typically aggregates in large numbers during the spawning season, producing gelatinous egg masses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Name-shishi-take

Sarcodon leucopusはひだや管孔の代わりに傘の裏面に淡色の刺(歯)が密生した肉質の褐色の傘を持つハリタケである。ヨーロッパの温帯および亜寒帯林で針葉樹および広葉樹と外生菌根共生関係を形成する。準絶滅危惧に指定されており、窒素沈着と老齢原生林生息地の消失に敏感である。
