Habitat & Geographic Range

American Bald Eagle

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).

Habitat

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

Range

Distributed across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

American Bald Eagle

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.

Clitopilus daamsii is an agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae named in honor of a mycologist contributing to European fungal taxonomy. Like other Clitopilus species, it produces fruiting bodies with white to pale grey caps, crowded, decurrent gills that become pinkish at maturity due to the development of angular, pink-tinged spores, and a mealy or farinaceous odor and taste characteristic of the genus. It inhabits deciduous woodland floors, woodland margins, and occasionally grassy habitats in temperate Europe, where it fruits in autumn among leaf litter. The genus Clitopilus includes both edible species, most notably C. prunulus (the sweetbread mushroom), and potentially confusable species. Accurate identification of Clitopilus species relies on spore morphology, odor, taste, gill attachment, and habitat. C. daamsii represents the diversity of named entolomatoid species emerging from detailed European mycological surveys, reflecting ongoing efforts to document and describe the full diversity of fungal life in temperate ecosystems.
