Habitat & Geographic Range

Clustered Bonnet

Habitat

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

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (Taiwan), Europe (4 countries), and North America (United States).

Onca

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Clustered Bonnet

Mycena inclinata, the clustered bonnet, is a small saprotrophic fungus in the family Mycenaceae that typically grows in dense clusters at the base of oak stumps and oak logs, and occasionally on beech or other hardwoods across the northern hemisphere. The fruiting bodies are graceful, with a broadly conical to bell-shaped cap typically pale greyish-brown, darkening toward the center, and a slender, brittle stem. One distinctive feature is the finely serrated or frilly-edged (frosted) lower stipe. The gills are white, later with pinkish tints in old specimens. M. inclinata has a distinctive mealiness or rancid smell compared to some other Mycena species, and it causes white rot in its woody substrate. It is widespread and common in deciduous and mixed woodlands throughout Europe and North America, fruiting from late summer through late autumn. The clustered growth habit on oak wood is characteristic and aids identification. The genus Mycena is large, with hundreds of species globally, many requiring microscopic examination for certain identification. M. inclinata is classified as Least Concern given its abundance and wide distribution.

Onca

O maior felino das Américas, atingindo até 100 kg com corpo robusto e musculoso e pelagem com padrão de rosetas característico. Encontrado do México até a América do Sul, com populações mais expressivas na Amazônia e no Pantanal. Nadadores poderosos e predadores de topo, os jaguares desempenham papel fundamental na regulação das populações de presas. Classificado como Quase Ameaçado, com sua área de ocorrência diminuindo devido ao desmatamento.
