Green Sea Turtle

A tartaruga-verde (Chelonia mydas) é uma das maiores tartarugas marinhas. Seu nome vem da cor verde da cartilagem e gordura, não do casco.

Hebeloma psammophilum é um fungo agaricáceo da família Hymenogastraceae, avaliado como Dados Insuficientes (DD). Seu nome específico sugere uma associação com substratos arenosos (psamofílico), podendo formar associações ectomicorrízicas com árvores em solos arenosos. A escassez de dados de coleta dificulta uma avaliação precisa de sua conservação.
