Fauna.
There is the usual variety of woodland fauna, boars, otters, racoons, deer, wolves, rodents etc. Bees are also plentiful and the Salsham'ai encourage and protect them for honey production. Some local species include:

Matoos are large ape-like creatures with black or brown fur, they are the main domesticated animal of the Salsham'ai. Despite their size, about that of an average gorilla, they are expert climbers able to easily navigate even the most difficult of the interior tracks. They are used as both pack animals and for riding.

Muitas, small monkey-like creatures, also domesticated, used as guard animals (mostly to make a lot of noise) and as pets.

Notahs, small tree-climbing rat-like creatures, basically vermin although they are edible in a pinch.

Tollos (that's the singular and plural form), a bit like a flying squirrel, with a rich red coloured fur. Extremely tasty.

Vorl, a sort of tree-climbing wolf - looks a bit like a sloth but more agile, fiercer, bigger teeth and more of them. Its luxurious pelt is highly desirable, they range from mid brown to black. They are very people shy and mainly stick to the uninhabited parts of the forests. Vorl hunting is quite common.

Also many of the typical bird varieties such as thrushes, larks, wood pigeon and partridge. The Voyhawk is a small bird of prey that can be tamed and used for hunting or sending messages. It is about 8" tall.

Flora
Again there are many familiar woodland species such as oak, ash, beech, pine etc, fruit trees and bushes, wild vegetables and herbs. Some indigenous species are:

Braashak trees, these evergreen trees are unique to the island, they are extremely broad in girth and have the unique characteristic that you can carve chambers into the very wood itself and the tree still lives. This means that many salsham'ai, as well as living in constructed tree-houses, actually live and work within the trees themselves. The tree's own sap hardens and creates a natural varnish on all carved surfaces.

Jula berries, about the size of a large walnut, a spherical blue-purple fruit that grows on bushes. Can be eaten raw or cooked in jams, pies etc. It makes an excellent wine as well with a lovely purple colour.

Dapils, a small apple like fruit, with a mottled reddish skin and pale pink flesh. Makes a nice rosé wine as well as for eating. A plant called Ekso has similar fruit but it is a much brighter shade of red - it is poisonous to eat but has some healing properties.

Tashan, a very prickly creeper which has a mild toxin in its needles which can kill very small children but only produces a rash in adults.

Sugar-root, a bit like a carrot but more cylindrical and a brownish colour. It has a very sweet taste. Matoos love it, but salsham'ai and humans eat it once it has been cooked.

Shoka beans have been mentioned elsewhere, they are only found on the Salsham'ai island. The pods grow on vines, they have lovely white flowers which bloom in spring and give off a pleasant scent, each flower head then develops into a pod. Many people grow them in containers on their balconies.

There is a wide variety of mushrooms, in all kinds of weird and wonderful shapes and colours. A few of them are:

Choi, a bright yellow it takes the form of long bendy fingers, a bit like very fat spaghetti.

Burm, pale orange, it grows in big lumpy masses.

Beto, bluish grey, it grows in sphere shapes about 2" across.

Zwitan, bright red tops on thick yellow stalks. It is highly poisonous to Salsham'ai and humans, but again matoos love them.
