Komodo Dragon

O dragão-de-komodo é o maior lagarto vivo. É encontrado apenas em algumas ilhas indonésias.

Lyophyllum aemiliae é um cogumelo raro que cresce em tufos densos com chapéus de coloração pálida a castanho-acinzentada e lamelas densas. Habita solos ricos em nutrientes em florestas temperadas europeias e bordas de bosques. Este fungo sapróbio a fracamente parasítico decompõe a matéria orgânica do solo e é considerado criticamente raro nas avaliações micológicas europeias.
