The Hominini (hominins) form a taxonomic tribe of the subfamily Homininae (hominines). They comprise two extant genera: Homo (humans) and Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos), and in standard usage exclude the genus Gorilla (gorillas), which is grouped separately within the subfamily Homininae.

Macrolepiota is a genus of white spored, gilled mushrooms of the family Agaricaceae. The best-known member is the parasol mushroom (M. procera). The widespread genus contains about 40 species.

The Ganodermataceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. , Index Fungorum accepts 8 genera and 300 species in the family. The family was circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1948 to contain polypores with a double spore wall. The inner wall is verruculose (with moderate-sized growths) to ornamented, thickened and usually coloured, while the outer wall is thin and hyaline.

Eulepidoptera represents a major clade within the infraorder Heteroneura, encompassing the vast majority of moth and butterfly species. It includes both primitive lineages such as Incurvariina and Etimonotrysia, as well as the highly diverse Ditrysia, which alone accounts for approximately 98% of all described Lepidoptera species. Members of Eulepidoptera are characterized by advanced wing coupling mechanisms, specialized larval stages, and a broad range of ecological roles, including pollination and agricultural pest activity. The evolutionary success of this clade is often attributed to its
