Chroococcus turicensis is a species of cyanobacteria in the family Chroococcaceae, with the specific epithet turicensis referring to Turicum, the Latin name for the city of Zurich, Switzerland, suggesting that the species was first described or commonly documented from Swiss freshwater habitats. Chroococcus species are small, coccoid cyanobacteria occurring in pairs or tetrads within gelatinous sheaths in freshwater and moist environments. Chroococcus turicensis has been recorded from lakes and other freshwater localities in central Europe, including the alpine and pre-alpine lakes of Switzerland. Alpine and subalpine freshwater bodies are generally oligotrophic, and the cyanobacteria that inhabit them tend to be well adapted to low nutrient concentrations and clear, well-lit waters. The freshwater phytoplankton of Alpine lakes has been extensively studied due to the ecological and economic importance of these water bodies as drinking water reservoirs and indicators of environmental change. Chroococcus turicensis contributes to the diversity of the cyanobacterial component of such communities. Like all Chroococcus species, it is a prokaryote whose conservation status has not been assessed by the IUCN.

Fly Agaric

광대버섯(Amanita muscaria)은 지구상에서 가장 상징적이고 잘 알려진 균류로, 북반구 한대림 전역에 걸쳐 흰 반점이 박힌 선명한 붉은 갓을 드러낸다. 동화 같은 외모와 달리 무스시몰과 이보텐산 등 강력한 향정신성 화합물을 함유하며 중등도 독성이 있다. 자작나무, 소나무, 가문비나무와 필수 외균근 공생 관계를 형성하여 무기 영양분을 탄소와 교환하며 한대림 영양 순환에 핵심 역할을 담당한다.
