🎁 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!
#AquaticFungi

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... 😍

In the photo a conidia of Tetracladium sp on agar.

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

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.

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 🎉

Here you can hear our interview on #AquaticFungi with the journalist Sara Sällström and produced by Lars Broström. Mixed English and Swedish.

#AquaticFungi on popular Swedish podcast Fråga Anders & Måns!
1️⃣ Someone sent in a question about fungi in water 😍
AND it was not me or anyone I know 😁.
2️⃣ Anders and Måns had listened to the recent interview with @zimingwang.bsky.social and I on #SverigesRadio 😍interview in Swedish/English link in 🧵

Getting ready to receive >100 strains of #aquaticfungi next week! 🤗

A wonderful collaboration with Jérémy Jabiol, Andi Bruder and many other colleagues to safeguard an aquatic hyphomycetes collection.
