Do you understand Estonian? Check out the fabulous @kristelpanksep.bsky.social talking about eDNA!
Can’t wait to see what we learn about fish from her ongoing research.

It’s a privilege to work with Kristel on fungi in @mostfun.bsky.social & @funaction.bsky.social.
Had the chance to talk about #environmentalDNA! I was on Kuku Raadio's show "Kuue samba taga" and shared how #eDNA samples are helping to solve nature's mysteries.

In @funaction.bsky.social, we are working to grow interest and excitement about these beautiful & ecologically important fungi.
We are really pleased to have this chance to engage with folks interested in aquatic hyphomycetes!
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 aquatichyphomycetes@gmail.com if interested. @britmycolsoc.org.uk @funaction.bsky.social

Aquatic hyphomycetes are a fascinating group of aquatic fungi. Most of them feed on dead leaves in flowing water. Their spores are usually either sinuous or four-armed to enable them to catch on to new food sources. @britmycolsoc.org.uk @funaction.bsky.social

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! 💧🍄

Nature recycles nutrients like we recycle trash! 🌱♻️

This free, print-ready game introduces kids (and adults!) to the concept of nutrient cycling in nature through an engaging analogy with trash recycling.

❄️🌍 Happy World Day for Glaciers 2025! 🌍❄️

Glaciers are essential ecosystems, supporting unique life forms. In MoSTFun, we’re exploring the biodiversity of fungi associated with glaciers and their crucial role in these environments. 🌊 #WorldDayForGlaciers #IYGP2025 #GlacierConservation #AquaticFungi

Working to get #AquaticFungi into the #Conservation conversation, @funaction.bsky.social weighed in on the European Water Resilience Strategy. The inclusion of #AquaticFungi & other neglected taxa in the Strategy is needed to meet environmental and societal challenges.

Conservation funding “82.9% was assigned to vertebrates. … while fungi and algae were barely represented at less than 0.2%”
Proud to work towards conservation of #AquaticFungi — tiny but mighty!

Most conservation funds go to large vertebrates at expense of ‘neglected’ species
Study shows funding bias towards animals like rhino while other endangered species including amphibians and algae disregarded

DNA🧬 is being extracted and sequenced to assess seasonal dynamics of #aquaticfungi biodiversity in several regions in Europe.

Stay tuned! 🍄💧
