Thrilled to launch yet another #CitizenScience campaign for @fundive-fungi.bsky.social ‪🙃

The campaign' accompanying flyer is published in the open-access platform Zenodo, free to download, share, and cite: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

🍄 #Typification: fixing fungal names
Many species of fungi were described long ago with only a short phrase or drawing-no type (reference) specimen!
This #FunDive campaign aims to collect type specimens & sequence DNA to anchor names and stabilize taxonomy. #Biodiversa

We know that 🍄Tricholoma eucalypticum🍄 grows with eucalyptus trees, but how many similar species exist in Europe? We don’t know! Help #FunDive to find out! For more educational materials, visit: fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol... #Biodiversa

🍄Fungi that eat fungi🍄
The genus #Hypomyces parasitises exclusively other fungi, coating them in white mycelium that later becomes yellow, green or red.
We aim to map them in Southern & Western Europe and discover new species. Join the new #FunDive campaign! #Biodiversa fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol...

📣SAVE THE DATE📣
We are delighted to invite you to the meeting "Fungal Conservation in Europe: Evidence to Action" which will take place in Uppsala, Sweden 14-17 April 2026. Organized by SLU Artdatabanken, Swedish Mycological Society, ECCF, EMA, #FunDive, SLU, JONEF, and SPUN.

🍄Microfungi on insects🍄
Fungi in the genus Hesperomyces are associated exclusively with ladybirds, visible as yellowish-greenish elongated balloons. We aim to map them in Europe and describe #newspecies. Join the #FunDive campaign! #Biodiversa fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol...

Hygrophorus + fir = 💚
Some waxycaps form strong mycorrhizal ties with firs (Abies), especially in Southern Europe. While some #Hygrophorus species are Red-listed, others are poorly studied. Join the new #FunDive campaign and help map them and their habitats! #Biodiversa fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol...

🍄Have you ever seen truffle-like #Russulales?
Some Russula skip the classic mushroom shape (stipe, open cap and gills). Instead, they form enclosed, truffle-like fruitbodies! Join the new #FunDive campaign and help us map them and sequence their genomes fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol... @biodiversa.eu

🚨 PhD opportunity! 🚨 We are looking for a student to work on a SONATA grant concerning the evolution of syncephalous flowers (complex inflorescences in the Asteraceae family) 💐

Did you know that the Copper Spike Mushroom (Chroogomphus rutilus) is a species complex with at least 8 similar species in Europe? Hiking in the pine forest on vacation? Help us map Chroogomphus distribution by sampling specimens from different European regions!
#CitizenScience #Chroogomphus

Let’s join the new FunDive sampling season!

🍄This year, we are not only continuing the projects started last year but also launching new ones🍄

We are looking for a #PhD Student in our group on "Environmental versus host controls on #parasite diversity in #Permian-#Triassic #vertebrate #coprolites" in the NCN project "The impact of mass #extinctions on parasite #diversity and #evolution".

🧬It's time to Read the Slime!
#Slimemoulds are weird, wonderful, and still understudied fungi-like organisms. You can help understand them.
Join the new FunDive citizen science campaign to find and sequence them 👉 fun-dive.eu/en/get-invol...

Super happy to see @irynaya.bsky.social joining our team! Welcome! And looking forward to learn more about #myxomycetes

We are organizing a #Visegrad funded #citizenscience workshop in České Budějovice on 10-12 March 2025, with fieldwork, lectures, labs, roundtable discussions, and an open lecture by the esteemed Dr. Helen Roy. More updates to follow soon. 👉 Get in touch if you want to participate!
