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.

Lasiobolus cuniculi is a small, hairy cup fungus producing orange-brown disc-shaped ascocarps covered with stiff hairs. It grows on rabbit and other herbivore dung in temperate grasslands and woodland areas across Europe and North America. This coprophilous saprotrophic fungus decomposes the organic matter in animal excrement.
