Chrome-Footed Bolete

The chrome-footed bolete (Boletus chrysenteron) is a species of mushroom in the family Boletaceae, widely distributed in deciduous and mixed forests of Europe and North America. Like other boletes, it produces a fleshy fruiting body with a sponge-like pore surface on the underside of the cap rather than the gills typical of most mushrooms. The cap surface of Boletus chrysenteron is dry, olive-brown to reddish-brown, and frequently develops irregular cracks revealing a reddish layer beneath the cuticle — a characteristic feature that aids identification. The stipe is typically pale above with reddish tints below. The flesh stains blue-green when cut or bruised, a reaction caused by oxidation of pulvinic acid derivatives. This species forms ectomycorrhizal associations with deciduous trees, particularly oaks and beeches, playing an important role in forest nutrient cycling. Boletus chrysenteron is considered edible but is of modest culinary value compared to premium edible boletes such as the porcini. Its flesh is often soft and prone to insect infestation. The species is common throughout its range and has no significant conservation concerns.

세계에서 가장 큰 영장류인 서부고릴라는 체중이 최대 180kg에 달하며 적도 아프리카의 열대 및 아열대 삼림에 서식한다. 주로 초식성이며, 무리를 보호하고 사회적 갈등을 중재하는 실버백 수컷이 이끄는 가족 집단을 이루어 생활한다. 삼림 벌채, 식육용 밀렵, 에볼라 바이러스 발병의 위협으로 인해 심각한 위기(CR) 종으로 지정되었다.
