Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Colombia and Ecuador. Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Clitopilus passeckerianus is a white-rot agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae notable for its role as a natural producer of pleuromutilin, a diterpenoid antibiotic compound that serves as the biosynthetic precursor for the veterinary and human antibiotic drugs tiamulin and valnemulin, used to treat Mycoplasma infections in livestock. First described from European woodland habitats, the species produces the characteristic Clitopilus fruiting body: a pale, whitish cap with decurrent, crowded gills becoming pinkish at maturity from angular spores, and a farinaceous odor. Its antibiotic-producing capacity makes C. passeckerianus of significant pharmaceutical interest, and biosynthetic studies of pleuromutilin production have informed synthetic chemistry approaches to antibiotic development. The species inhabits temperate deciduous woodland floors in Europe, fruiting in autumn among leaf litter. Discovery of its pleuromutilin biosynthetic pathway has opened avenues for heterologous expression and semi-synthetic modification aimed at developing novel antibiotics to counter antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens.

The largest wild cat on Earth, tigers can exceed 300 kg and inhabit forests from the Russian Far East to Southeast Asia. Solitary ambush predators with distinctive orange and black striped coats that provide camouflage in dappled light. Critically endangered, with fewer than 4,000 remaining in the wild due to poaching and deforestation.
