common bottlenose dolphin

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.

Resupinatus poriaeformis is a small, grey to brownish, resupinate to dimidiate shell-like mushroom growing on decaying wood. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests, appearing on dead branches and woody debris of hardwoods. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes dead wood and contributes to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems.
