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.

Cultivated Mushroom

The most widely cultivated mushroom globally, the button mushroom in its various growth stages — white button, cremini, and portobello — accounts for approximately 40% of world mushroom production. Domesticated from wild Agaricus species found in grasslands across Europe and North America, they are grown commercially in controlled environments on composted straw and manure. Rich in B vitamins, selenium, and dietary fiber, they are one of the most nutritionally versatile fungi in human cuisine.
