African elephant

非洲象是地球上体型最大的陆地动物，体重可达7,000千克，栖息于撒哈拉以南非洲的草原、稀树草原和森林中。作为关键种，它们通过挖掘水源、传播种子和改变植被结构，深刻塑造了其栖息地的生态系统。受栖息地丧失和象牙盗猎威胁，非洲象的保护至关重要。

Cultivated Mushroom

双孢蘑菇（Agaricus bisporus）是全球种植最广泛的蘑菇，其不同生长阶段分别称为白蘑菇、褐蘑菇和大褐菇，约占世界蘑菇总产量的40%。该种由原产于欧洲和北美草地的野生Agaricus属驯化而来，在堆肥秸秆和粪便上的受控环境中商业化栽培。富含B族维生素、硒和膳食纤维，是人类烹饪中营养最为多功能的真菌之一。
