It is with great enthusiasm that I joined the MOSTFUNACTION team (lnkd.in/ehJ7sTeQ) for the #WorldWaterRun. Water is home to >6000 sp of #aquaticfungi (described), and so it is pivotal that we protect #water and these increadible organisms. 💧 🍄‍🟫 My first 4.2 Km. 🎉 #WorldWaterDay2026

Does anyone knows if this model can still be found to buy second hand? Or a model with similar characteristics? It is to be used for aquatic fungi isolations. Any info would be much appreciated.

Diana and I installed leaf litter bags and cotton strips in 30 freshwater sites, inside and outside the Peneda-Gerês National Park, along the Cávado River basin 🇵🇹. This is part of a coordinated study from @funaction.bsky.social. Follow the project to get updates. #aquaticfungi #conservation
