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
Aquatic hyphomycete spores. Clockwise from top left: Alatospora acuminata, Articulospora tetracladia, Tetracladium marchalianum, Anguillospora cf rosea and Anguillospora crassa. Undyed or dyed with cotton blue.

I big shipment of samples recently arrived to #FUNACTION Estonian partners 🇪🇪. DNA🧬 is being extracted and sequenced to assess seasonal dynamics of #aquaticfungi biodiversity in several regions in Europe. Stay tuned! 🍄💧 #funga #fungi #conservation @biodiversaplus.bsky.social

Mobility of ECRs between Partners labs is one example of #FUNACTION transnational added value. Ziming🇸🇪 and Pietro🇮🇹 visited our Estonian🇪🇪 team where they were trained and collaborated on sample preparation and #eDNA extraction. #aquaticfungi #conservation #biodiversity @biodiversaplus.bsky.social

💧🌍On #WorldWaterDay, UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns: Glacier loss threatens water security & future. ❄️💔 Glaciers hold 70% of Earth's freshwater but are disappearing. We must act to protect this vital resource and its biodiversity! #ClimateAction #GlacierPreservation #aquaticfungi🔵un.org

@zimingwang.bsky.social is featured in SLU's Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment Newsletter! Always exciting to talk about #AquaticFungi & @funaction.bsky.social.

Aquatic fungi

Aquatic fungi play a crucial role in the food web and ecosystems in which they reside, yet they are absent from any of the current biodiversity conservation strategies. I am currently working with Jennifer Anderson here in SLU, alongside collaborators from various countries in Europe and North America, on the EU-funded Biodiversa+ project “FUNACTION”. We are conducting ground surveys to assess the current diversity, abundance, and functional diversity of aquatic fungi. And to identify environmental factors that may influence aquatic fungi both within and outside of the current designated protected areas. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive knowledge base that will serve to inform and guide stakeholders about the significance of aquatic fungi. And ultimately, we seek to formulate strategies and plans to promote aquatic fungi conservation.
