Echinoderma calcicolaはヨーロッパの石灰質草原や林縁で育つ中型のキノコで、淡色の笠に暗色の尖った鱗片が覆われ、柄も同様に装飾されています。古くから種の豊富な石灰質生息地の指標種とみなされています。絶滅危惧（EN）に分類されており、農業の集約化と石灰岩草原生息地の喪失により深刻な脅威にさらされています。

koala

オーストラリア東部・南東部を代表する有袋類で、体重は最大15kgに達し、低カロリーのユーカリの葉食から得るエネルギーを節約するために1日最大22時間を睡眠に費やす。他の哺乳類の多くを死に至らしめる有毒なユーカリ成分を処理するために高度に特化しており、解毒に特別に適応した腸内微生物叢を持つ。クラミジア感染症、生息地の伐採、気候変動により個体数が激減し、2022年に絶滅危惧種に指定された。
