Abert's Squirrel

The Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus aberti) is a species in the genus Sciurus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It typically inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Trichia contorta is a myxomycete producing clusters of small, cylindrical to pear-shaped sporangia on decaying wood, often in early succession on freshly fallen logs.

This species is found across temperate and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere.
