A ave nacional dos Estados Unidos e símbolo do sucesso conservacionista americano, a águia-careca tem uma envergadura de até 2,4 metros e habita florestas e zonas húmidas próximas de águas abertas em toda a América do Norte. Quase extinta na década de 1960 devido ao envenenamento por DDT e à caça, recuperou de forma notável após as proibições de pesticidas e a Lei das Espécies em Perigo.

Disciseda candida é um pequeno gastromiceto semelhante a um puffball com corpo de frutificação esférico achatado, de cor branca a creme, que se desprende de sua base subterrânea ao amadurecer. Habita solos calcáreos e arenosos secos em ambientes de estepe e pastagens secas da Europa central e oriental. Este fungo saprótrofo decompõe matéria orgânica em solos de pastagens áridas e dispersa esporos quando seu perídio papiráceo se fragmenta.
