Habitat & Geographic Range

백상아리

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate grasslands and steppes, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Indomalayan and Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Chile, Norway, Portugal, and Taiwan. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Coastal Mushoom

Habitat

Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.

Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

백상아리

지구상에서 가장 큰 포식성 어류인 백상아리는 전 세계 주요 대양의 시원한 연안 및 원해에 서식하며, 체장 6미터, 체중 2,000킬로그램까지 성장할 수 있습니다. 해양 포유류, 대형 어류, 바닷새를 주요 먹이로 하여 아래에서 기습 공격하는 최상위 포식자입니다. 무서운 명성에도 불구하고 인간에 대한 비도발적 공격은 극히 드뭅니다. 지느러미 채취, 혼획, 목적성 포획으로 개체수가 감소하고 있어 IUCN에서 취약(VU)으로 분류되며, 많은 지역에서 법적 보호를 받고 있습니다.

Coastal Mushoom

Agaricus litoralis, the coastal mushroom, is a saprotrophic agaric fungus in the family Agaricaceae occurring in sand dunes, coastal grassland, and sandy soil habitats along the coasts of northwestern Europe, with confirmed records from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The genus Agaricus contains the familiar cultivated button mushroom (A. bisporus) along with hundreds of wild species, and members are characterized by a ring on the stem and browning, discoloring, or non-discoloring flesh when cut, features used in field identification. Agaricus litoralis is a medium-sized mushroom producing white to cream-colored caps 4–10 centimeters across with pinkish then dark brown gills and a stout stem with a double ring, fruiting in sand dune hollows and the grassy margins of coastal habitats from summer through autumn. The specific epithet litoralis refers directly to its coastal habitat preference. As a saprotroph, it decomposes organic matter in the sandy soil substrate, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, being relatively widespread in suitable coastal sandy habitat across northwestern Europe. Like many coastal fungi, it is specifically adapted to the nutrient-poor, well-drained, alkaline conditions of stabilized sand dune systems.
