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.

Xenasma pulverulentum é um basidiomiceto corticicoide que forma crostas pulverulentas, de cor cinza-pálido a esbranquiçada, sobre madeira morta de coníferas. Habita florestas boreais e temperadas de coníferas no norte da Europa e Escandinávia. Este fungo saprotrófico decompõe a madeira morta de coníferas e contribui para a reciclagem de nutrientes nos ecossistemas florestais.
