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。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
