Anomalodesmata
Anomalodesmata is an superorder of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. This grouping was formerly recognised as a taxonomic subclass. It is called a superorder in the current World Register of Marine Species, despite having no orders, to parallel it with sister taxon Imparidentia, which does have orders. Description The shells of species in this order are of equal size, as are the muscles that hold them closed, and the margins at the hinges are thickened. The margins of the mantle are also fused, and there is only a single hinge tooth, if any. Families In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published in ''Malacologia'' by Bieler, Carter & Coan revising the classification of the Bivalvia, including the order Anomalodesmata.Bieler, R., Carter, J.G. & Coan, E.V.

Verpa Philippinensis
''Verpa'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi related to the morels. Resembling the latter genus in edibility and form, the common name early morels is popular. There are five species in the widespread genus. ''Verpa'' comes from the Latin for '' erection'' or ''little rod'' (also a vulgarity for phallus). Edibility of ''Verpa'' is the same as for ''Morchella'', and are safe if cooked. ''Gyromitra'', by contrast has a couple of dangerously toxic species being Gyromitra esculenta and Gyromitra ambigua. Analysis of the ribosomal DNA of many of the Pezizales showed the genus ''Verpa'' to be closely related to the genus '' Morchella'', and also ''Disciotis''. Thus the three genera are now included in the family Morchellaceae. Species Species include: *''Verpa bohemica'' - early morel. : Edible if cooked. Found in North America, in early spring, April–May in damp places, under poplar *''Verpa conica'' - bell or conic morel. : Edible if cooked. Found in North America, in ...

Bivalve
Bivalvia (), in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. As a group, bivalves have no head and they lack some usual molluscan organs, like the radula and the odontophore. They include the clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. The majority are filter feeders. The gills have evolved into ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Most bivalves bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as the scallops and file shells, can swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or stone and live inside these substances. The shell of a bivalve is composed of calc ...
