Fan-shaped Jelly Fungus

Fan-shaped Jelly Fungus

Fan-shaped jelly fungus (Dacryopinax spathularia) is a species of fungus in the family Dacrymycetaceae that grows on rotting coniferous, broadleaf wood even in polyester rugs found in Asia, Africa, Australia and the Pacific, North and South America. Basidiocarps or fruit bodies (0.5 to 2.5 cm tall) are gelatinous, and grow on wood, mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Gelatinous fruitbodies are yellow-orange to orange, have rounded stalks at the base, are flattened upward, and have an overall fan-shaped to spatula-shaped. The fungus is a widespread but not common edible fungus and is commercially cultivated for use as an additive in the food industry. The species is commercially cultivated to produce long-chain glycolipids used as a natural preservative in soft drinks. The process involves fermentation of Dacryopinax spathularia using glucose as a carbon source in aerobic submerged culture. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 30/06/2023.

      Eurasian Collared Dove - Animal India

      Eurasian Collared Dove - Animal India

      The Eurasian collared dove, or Indian ringed dove (Streptopelia decaocto), is a medium-sized species native to Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to Japan, North America, and islands in the Caribbean. The dove is grey-buff to pinkish-grey overall, slightly darker above than below, with a blue-grey underwing patch. It features a distinctive black half-collar edged with white on its nape, from which it derives its name. The Eurasian collared dove is not migratory but is highly dispersive. Over the last century, it has become one of the great colonizers of the bird world, extending its range to colder countries and becoming a permanent resident in several of them. These doves are monogamous. A Eurasian collared dove is perched on a custard apple (Annona reticulata) tree in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, as of 17 April 2024.

                    Chrysocoris Purpureus - Jewel Bug - Animal India

                    Chrysocoris purpureus is a species of brightly colored jewel bug with shield-shaped backs found in Asia. This bug exhibits a metallic green color, featuring five black spots on its pronotum and seven spots on its scutellum. It is a member of the Scutelleridae family, established by Carl Wilhelm Hahn in 1834, with species distributed across South and Southeast Asia. Chrysocoris purpureus has been observed causing significant damage by sucking the sap from the tender shoots and leaves of Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) in Jharkhand. A specimen of Chrysocoris purpureus was noted perched on green leaves in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 3, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
