Cristinia helvetica is a resupinate basidiomycete fungus that forms thin, whitish to cream-coloured patches on the underside of decaying hardwood logs and branches. It is found across temperate European forests and acts as a wood decomposer, breaking down lignocellulosic material. The species contributes to forest nutrient cycling and deadwood habitat ecology.

jaguar

The largest cat in the Americas, reaching up to 100 kg with a stocky, muscular build and distinctive rosette-patterned coat. Found from Mexico through South America, with strongholds in the Amazon and Pantanal. Powerful swimmers and apex predators, jaguars play a critical role in regulating prey populations.
