Bisamratte

The Bisamratte (Ondatra zibethicus) is a species in the genus Ondatra. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

A amanita-das-moscas (Amanita muscaria) é um dos fungos mais icônicos e reconhecíveis da Terra, exibindo chapéus vermelhos marcantes com verrugas brancas nos bosques boreais do hemisfério norte. Apesar de sua aparência de conto de fadas, contém potentes compostos psicoativos como muscimol e ácido iboténico, sendo moderadamente tóxico. Forma simbioses micorrízicas essenciais com bétulas, pinheiros e abetos, trocando nutrientes minerais por carbono e desempenhando papéis fundamentais na ciclagem de nutrientes nas florestas boreais.
