Chicken of the Woods Mushroom
Type: Edible bracket fungus (polypore mushroom).
Needles: None – forms large, overlapping, fan-shaped shelves instead of leaves or needles.
Lifespan: Individual fruiting bodies last a few weeks; the fungus can persist for years in its host tree.
Habitat: Grows on dead or dying hardwoods (like oak, cherry, and beech) and sometimes on conifers in North America and Europe.
Uses: Popular edible mushroom with a meaty texture; used in cooking as a vegetarian substitute for chicken.
Adaptations: Bright orange and yellow coloring may deter some predators; spreads through spores and decays wood.
Ecological Role: Decomposer fungus that recycles nutrients by breaking down tree wood.
Fun fact: Its texture and flavor are so similar to poultry that it’s nicknamed “the chicken mushroom.”
Hazelnut
Type: Deciduous shrub or small tree.
Needles: None – has broad, rounded, serrated leaves.
Lifespan: Typically 40–80 years.
Habitat: Found in temperate forests, hedgerows, and woodland edges across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Uses: Edible nuts (eaten raw, roasted, or in products like Nutella and praline), wood for tool handles and baskets, and ornamental planting.
Adaptations: Produces nuts with hard shells to protect seeds; wind-pollinated flowers appear before leaves.
Ecological Role: Provides food for squirrels, birds, deer, and insects; dense shrubs offer shelter for wildlife.
Fun fact: Hazelnuts are one of the oldest cultivated nut crops, with evidence of human use dating back over 9,000 years!
Rabbit
1. Species and Family
- Common Name: Rabbit (covers many species)
- Scientific Family: Leporidae (hares and rabbits)
- Includes about 30 species; the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is the ancestor of most domestic breeds.
2. Appearance
- Small to medium-sized mammals, body length 8–20 inches (20–50 cm), weight 1–5 lbs (0.45–2.3 kg) depending on species.
- Long ears (up to 4 inches/10 cm) for detecting predators, large hind legs for hopping, and a short fluffy tail.
- Fur color varies by species — can be brown, gray, white, black, or mixed.
3. Habitat and Range
- Found worldwide except in Antarctica and some remote islands.
- Live in meadows, grasslands, woodlands, forests, and deserts.
- Many species dig burrow systems (warrens) for shelter.
4. Social Life and Behaviour
- Social animals that often live in groups for safety.
- Communicate using thumps of their hind legs, scent marking, and a range of body postures.
- Crepuscular — most active at dawn and dusk to avoid predators.
5. Diet
- Herbivores eating grass, clover, leafy weeds, bark, and garden vegetables.
- Practice coprophagy — re-eating certain soft droppings to extract more nutrients from their high-fiber diet.
6. Role in the Ecosystem
- Important prey for predators such as foxes, hawks, eagles, owls, and coyotes.
- Help shape plant communities through grazing.
- Contribute to soil aeration with their burrowing.
7. Relationship with Humans
- Kept as pets, farmed for meat, fur, and laboratory research.
- In some regions, considered pests for damaging crops.
- Symbolic in many cultures — often linked to fertility, spring, and luck.
8. Fun Fact
