Golden Eagle

Among the most powerful and widely distributed raptors in the world, golden eagles have wingspans reaching 2.2 meters and inhabit mountainous terrain across the Northern Hemisphere. Supreme aerial hunters, they use soaring flight and steep dives at speeds over 200 km/h to capture rabbits, hares, ground squirrels, and occasionally young deer and foxes. In many cultures they have been central to falconry traditions spanning millennia.

Hyphoderma occidentale is a corticioid fungus in the family Polyporaceae, assessed as Data Deficient (DD). It grows as a thin, resupinate (crust-like) fruiting body on dead wood in forest habitats. Insufficient data on its distribution and population size make comprehensive conservation assessment difficult.
