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.
Stemonaria pilosa is a myxomycete (slime mould) producing minute sporangia covered with fine hairs on decaying woody plant material in forested environments. Like other myxomycetes, it passes through an amoeboid plasmodial stage before forming reproductive structures. This organism plays a role in microbial community ecology, feeding on bacteria and fungal spores in forest litter and wood.
