Habitat & Geographic Range

Белоголовый орлан

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Common Funnel

Habitat

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

Range

Distributed across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and United States.

Белоголовый орлан

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Common Funnel

<em>Infundibulicybe gibba</em>, commonly known as the common funnel, is a saprotrophic fungus in the family Tricholomataceae. It has been documented in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States, and is known to occur more broadly across temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The species typically inhabits forest floors and areas with decomposing wood and leaf litter, where it plays a key role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients. <em>Infundibulicybe gibba</em> produces characteristic funnel-shaped fruiting bodies, typically pale buff to pinkish-tan in color, with deeply decurrent gills running down the stipe. It is assessed as Least Concern, reflecting its wide distribution and occurrence across a variety of woodland habitats. The common funnel is a common and recognizable species in temperate forests throughout its range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. As a saprotroph, it contributes to decomposition processes in forest ecosystems and is often found growing in arcs or rings in leaf litter and grassy clearings within woodland areas.
