Additionally, owing to its shape being similar to that of a wild turkey's tail feathers, T. versicolor is most commonly referred to as turkey tail. [1] A similar-looking mushroom commonly called " false turkey tail " is from a different order ( Stereum ), and thus may sometimes be confused with the 'true' turkey tail mushroom, T. versicolor .
Commonly known as the bird's nest fungi, their fruiting bodies resemble tiny egg-filled birds' nests. As they are saprobic , feeding on decomposing organic matter , they are often seen growing on decaying wood and in soils enriched with wood chips or bark mulch ; they have a widespread distribution in most ecological regions.
The eggs are pale green, round, and flattened, with a diameter of about 0.5 millimetres (0.020 in). They are laid singly on buds and flowers of a food plant. The caterpillars are 0.7 centimetres (0.28 in) long, green with a dark red line along the back, and light and dark lines partway along the sides.
It is a plant pathogen and a wood decay fungus. The name ostrea, from the word 'oyster', describes its shape. [2] With concentric circles of many colors, it highly resembles Trametes versicolor, turkey-tail, and is thus called the 'false turkey-tail'. The stemless fruiting body is shell-like and grows 1–7 cm (0.39–2.76 in) high.
Trametes hirsuta, commonly known as hairy bracket or hairy turkey tail, [1] is a fungal plant pathogen. It is found on dead wood of deciduous trees, especially beechwood. It is found all year round and persists due to its leathery nature.
Cyathus striatus, commonly known as the fluted bird's nest, [5] [6] is a common saprobic bird's nest fungus with a widespread distribution throughout temperate regions of the world. This fungus resembles a miniature bird's nest with numerous tiny "eggs"; the eggs, or peridioles , are actually lens-shaped bodies that contain spores .
The Oriental hornet (Vespa orientalis) is a social insect species of the family Vespidae.It can be found in Southwest Asia, Northeast Africa, the island of Madagascar (but no reports have been made of its presence on the island for many years), the Middle East, Central Asia, and parts of Southern Europe.

Enallagma cyathigerum (common blue damselfly or common bluet) is a species found mainly between latitudes 40°N and 72°N; [2] It is widely distributed in the Palearctic, common in all European countries (including Portugal, Spain, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, etc.) and in Asia in Turkey, Iran, Russia, and South Korea.
