Habitat & Geographic Range
Common Funnel
Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.
Distributed across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and United States.
gorilla
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
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.
gorilla
The world's largest primate, western gorillas weigh up to 180 kg and inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of equatorial Africa. Primarily herbivorous, living in family groups led by a silverback male who protects the troop and mediates social conflicts. Critically Endangered, with populations threatened by deforestation, poaching for bushmeat, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease.
