The amazing @isabelrfernandes.bsky.social is in Colombia exploring and teaching about #AquaticFungi diversity!
Follow her to hear more about what she is seeing and doing on this adventure! (Which is my way of saying--I'm soooo curious, please tell us more).
Isolating #aquatichyphomycetes from Colombia!

So much diversity... 😍

@jandbio.bsky.social there are so many Tetracladium spp. You would love it here 💛🍄‍🟫

🎁 For your Friday
A sneak peek of the new 3D spore model for the aero-aquatic fungus Helicodendron conglomeratum.
#FUNACTION is preparing to make this model publicly available for you to print and use in outreach and education. Follow @funaction.bsky.social for updates!

We need many more scientists like @sally-mycology.bsky.social — folks with the expertise and skills to describe #AquaticFungi!

I’m looking forward to meeting these 26 species that are contributing to life in our highly threatened freshwater ecosystems.
Currently working through piles of data and reviewing the morphology from 3 collections. It looks like I have 26 new species of freshwater fungi. So many more out there too. #aquatic_fungi

I'm a huge fan of #AquaticFungi, but do you know what else are amazing, important, and understudied? #Protists. I'm having a protist-filled Friday, starting with the fantastic ongoing defense of soon to be 'Dr.' @annewalraven.bsky.social of the @fburki.bsky.social lab. Check out her fantastic work 🎉

Today #aquaticfungi will be at the Greenday 2026 in Bellinzona.

Great opportunity to show the work we are doing within @funaction.bsky.social and @mostfun.bsky.social to include aquatic fungi into #conservation and #monitoring

🎯 Piazza del Sole between 9h-17.

Congrats to Rebecca Poms on completing a double MSc in the EnvEuro Master's program 🎉💧🍄

Rebecca dove into the world of #AquaticFungi and took up the challenge to start establishing approaches to monitor AF functions via qPCR. She also found cool interspecific variation for decomposition!
