🚨Join us at #WBF2026 to discuss how to overcome knowledge and policy gaps related to #fungi #biodiversity and #conservation meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/WBF2026/sess... Make sure to submit your abstract by Nov 18th to participate in our session! 🍄‍🟫 🌊 🏝️

Are you attending #livingdata2025? Do you want to know more about #aquaticfungi? I would love to connect with you!

Last week Swiss #MoSTFun team sampled the Basòdino glacier in Ticino, to look for #aquaticfungi. 💧🍄 This is part of a larger sampling campaign to fill the knowledge gap on aquatic fungi diversity associated to glaciers. Get in touch if you want to know more about our work or collaborate with us.

1. You love aquatic fungi 2. You never heard about them but are curious 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 I would love to connect with you! 🍄💧🤗 Find me next week during #livingdata2025. Let's talk about #aquaticfungi #conservation. @funaction.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu @iucnaquafungi.bsky.social @iucnfungi.bsky.social

⭐Stakeholders engagement was defined as a top priority⭐ In particular with stakeholders willing to share their samples/data to be reanalysed for assessing #aquaticfungi #biodiversity. 📢 That could be you? Please fill our questionnaire👇 tinyurl.com/3s27jt7n Lets work together! 🤝

@biodiversa.eu #MoSTFun consortium had a hybrid mid-term meeting in Barcelona. Fruitful discussions about what was achieved so far and the priorities for the second half of the project (see below👇). #aquaticfungi #monitoring #biodiversity

If you feel you're missing out - which you are! - it's not too late to sign up at [email protected] and join @jandbio.bsky.social @zimingwang.bsky.social and others on alternate Wednesday evenings. @funaction.bsky.social @britmycolsoc.org.uk

A number of questions were raised which we will cover at future meetings, including: how to isolate living spores and grow them in culture; how to collect aquatic hyphomycetes from leaves; and how to DNA barcode these tiny fungi. Plus we'll be getting tips to improve our identification skills.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable, and very informative, first meeting of the online #AquaticHyphomycete group yesterday. @isabelrfernandes.bsky.social gave us methodology and tips for collecting and fixing foam samples.

Together with @fayrnhawk.bsky.social and other colleagues we are starting TODAY online sessions about #aquatichyphomycetes. Interested in knowing more about this beautiful group of aquatic fungi? Send your message to [email protected]. Looking forward to exchanging with YOU! 💧🍄

Older people care increases the gender gap in academia 👇 "At the institutional level, older care is an ‘invisible’ problem, for which interviewees reported not getting any support from their institutions." There is work to do! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

This is a beautiful volume in the Current Biology magazine about Fungi with gorgeous illustrations! highly recommended 🧡 🍄🍄 🤩 www.currentconservation.org/issues/19-3/

One of the articles was written by myself, @adricorrales.bsky.social, @tobykiers.bsky.social and Kelcie Walther @spun.earth, with illustrations by Manvi Vakharia. I'm so thrilled with the outcome! www.currentconservation.org/integrating-...

Current Conservation just published a special issue on fungal conservation. It is amazingly beautiful and creative, with great content! Don’t miss out on this fascinating exploration of fungi and their vital role in our ecosystems! 🍄‍🟫 💕 www.currentconservation.org/issues/19-3/

Well done @huzefaraj.bsky.social 🎉 Thanks for bringing this news species of #aquaticfungi to our knowledge! We are one species closer to knowing the estimated 2.5 millions existing species of #Funga. #fungi #biodiversity #conservation

🚨🚨🚨 We found a new genus of aquatic fungi right here in Indiana! 🚨🚨🚨 Learn more in this blog post! 👇

First workshop of the citizen science campaign on sampling glacier fungi in Lyngseidet, Norway was a success with professional glacier guides and good discussions. Sampling kits were distributed. @mostfun.bsky.social @eirikafi.bsky.social #magicmountainlodge #attmankanguide

What an exciting collaboration! I'm looking forward very much to exchange experiences with the highest number of people. Still time to join. Contact @fayrnhawk.bsky.social 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #aquaticfungi #monitoring #biodiversity #conservation #aquatichyphomycetes

Researchers Andreas Bruder, and @isabelfernandes.bsky.social from SUPSI in Switzerland, and @jandbio.bsky.social and @zimingwang.bsky.social from SLU in Sweden will be supporting the group.

A new Zoom-based chat group focussing on #AquaticHyphomycetes will be starting on 8th October. Join us in the evening (BST) to chat and learn about this fascinating group of fungi. Contact me at [email protected] if interested. @britmycolsoc.org.uk @funaction.bsky.social

Big day at #SEFS14 in Bolu, Türkiye! 🌍 Our session on #AquaticFungi and Microorganisms in a Changing World was a hit — and two student talks took home best presentation awards! 🎖️🎉 Huge thanks to all the speakers + attendees for making it an inspiring, fungi-filled success. 💧🍄 #MoSTFun #FUNACTION

What an exciting day at SEFS14 in Bolu, Türkiye! The Special Session on #AquaticFungi /Microorganisms in a Changing World was a huge success and even resulted in two graduate student awards for best SEFS14 oral presentations! 🎖️ Thanks to the speakers and audience for a truly fantastic session! 💧🍄

It is a true privilege to work with such an inspiring group of people. See our last article: Women, Water, and the Climate Emergency: Art and Science for Bringing Ecofeminism to Society doi.org/10.1002/lob.... #MUAC #AUMENTA #SocAigua #Gender&ScienceAIL #art&science

A big hurray to my former PhD student Diana Graça for winning the Prize UC-Life Sciences 2025 – Biology with her paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.sc.... It was a lot of work, and she totally deserves this! Congratulations! 🎉 🎉 News in Portuguese: www.uc.pt/fctuc/dcv/no...
