Green Sea Turtle

The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.

Hemitrichia abietina is a myxomycete (slime mould) in the order Trichiales, typically found on decaying wood and leaf litter in forest environments. Like other members of the genus, it produces brightly coloured sporangia used in spore dispersal. Its conservation status is not evaluated under global assessments.
