Amami Rabbit

The Amami Rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi) is a species in the genus Pentalagus. It is currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Coprinopsis stercorea is a small, inky cap mushroom growing on herbivore dung and manure-enriched soils, as its species name implies.

This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes dung organic matter and autodigests its cap as spores mature.
