Microporellus iguazuensis Microporellus iguazuensis is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Found in South America, it was described as a new species in 1987 by mycologist Mario Rajchenberg. The type was collected in Misiones Province, Argentina, in the Iguazú National Park. Characteristics of the fungus include the fruit body comprising a lateral stipe and multiple fan- or spoon-shaped caps. Microscopic characters include the dimitic hyphal system, relatively large basidia measuring 23–31 by 8–9 μm, and large ellipsoid to egg-shaped spores measuring 7–9 by 5–6 μm. The fungus was redescribed 23 years later after it was found in a polypore survey in the Atlantic rainforest of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. There it was growing on the ground amongst leaf litter, connected to roots of a living tree of "Ocotea indecora".

Saguaro National Park Saguaro National Park in southern Arizona is part of the National Park System in the United States. The park land consists of two distinct areas—the Tucson Mountain District (TMD) west of the city of Tucson and the Rincon Mountain District (RMD) east of the city—that preserve Sonoran Desert landscapes and diverse fauna and flora, including the giant saguaro cactus. The volcanic rocks on the surface of the TMD differ greatly from the surface rocks of the RMD; over the past 30 million years, crustal stretching associated with the Basin and Range displaced rocks from beneath the Tucson Mountains to form the Rincon Mountains. Uplifted, domed, and eroded, the Rincon Mountains remain significantly higher and wetter than the Tucson Mountains, and the higher elevations of the RMD support plant and animal populations that do not exist in the TMD.
