Epipactis helleborine, the broad-leaved helleborine, is a terrestrial species of orchid with a broad distribution. It is a long lived herb which varies morphologically with ability to self-pollinate. \nDescription:\nEpipactis helleborine can grow to a maximum height of 1 m or more under good conditions, and has broad dull green leaves which are strongly ribbed and flat The flowers are arranged in long drooping racemes with dull green sepals and shorter upper petals. The lower labellum is pale red and is much shorter than the upper petals. \nFlowering occurs June–September. \nHabitat:\nFound in woods and hedge-banks and often not far from paths near human activity. It is one of the most likely European orchids to be found within a city, with many sites for example in Glasgow, London and Moscow. Sometimes spotted beside car parks. \nEpipactis helleborine is known for its successful colonization of human-made or anthropogenic habitats such as parks, gardens or roadsides. These roadside orchids exhibit special features such as large plant size and greater ability to produce flowers. Pollination plays a huge role as pollinators such as Syrphidae, Culicidae, Apidae etc. possess greater species diversity and visits the flowering sites more in anthropogenic habitats as compared to native ones. The visitation rates along with the reproductive success of these orchids are higher in large populations as they are more attractive to pollinators. \n\nDistribution:\nThis species is widespread across much of Europe and Asia, from Portugal to China, as well as northern Africa (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis is a very common Species in the described Habitats in the Netherlands.

Close up of Aspergillus oryzae is a filamentous fungus, or mold that is used in food production, such as in soybean fermentation under the microscope in laboratory.
A rather delicate, low, hairless, rhizomatous perennial forming carpets; stem slender, erect, unbranched. Basal leaves 2-ternate, with oval or oblong lobes, long stalked; stem leaves one pair, ternate, the segments trilobed. Flowers greenish, in small clusters, 6-8mm across, each normally with 5 flowers. Fruit greenish, but seldom produced.\nHabitat: Shady places on moist soils, to 2400m.\nFlowering Season: April-May.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe, except the far North.\n\nThis is a quite scarce Species in the described Habitats in the Eastern and Southern Parts of the Netherlands.

Cladonia is a genus of moss-like lichens in the family Cladoniaceae. They are the primary food source for reindeer/caribou. Cladonia species are of economic importance to reindeer-herders, such as the Sami in Scandinavia or the Nenets in Russia. Antibiotic compounds are extracted from some species to create antibiotic cream. The light green species Cladonia stellaris is used in flower decorations. \nAlthough the phylogeny of the genus Cladonia is still under investigation, two main morphological groups are commonly differentiated by taxonomists: the Cladonia morpho-type and the Cladina morpho-type. The Cladonia morpho-type has many more species, and is generally described as a group of squamulose (grow from squamules), cup-bearing lichens. The Cladina morpho-types are often referred to as forage lichens, mat-forming lichens, or reindeer lichens (due to their importance as caribou winter forage). \nCladonia perforata (\
