Disciseda candidaは、成熟時に地下の基部から分離する白色からクリーム色の扁平な球形子実体を持つ小型のホコリタケ類似腹菌類である。中東欧の乾燥した石灰質・砂質土壌、ステップおよび乾燥草原環境に生息する。この腐生菌は乾燥草原土壌で有機物を分解し、紙状の外被が裂けると胞子を飛散させる。

コウテイペンギン

世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン（Aptenodytes forsteri）は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。
