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! 💧🍄

Congratulations to @funaction.bsky.social 🇵🇹 team-member Diana Graça, who was awarded for her earlier work! #AquaticFungi!

Will the future of biomonitoring include #AquaticFungi?

Thanks to @biodiversa.eu, @funaction.bsky.social Coordinator @jandbio.bsky.social and @mostfun.bsky.social ECR Marina Pastor engaged with national funders, policy makers & industry representatives in Barcelona last month to support this goal.

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.

#FUNACTION #aquaticfungi #ecology

Having >1000 species of #fungi assessed is a great milestone!!

@funaction.bsky.social is working towards #aquaticfungi #conservation in close collaboration with @iucnaquafungi.bsky.social!

We will contribute to the assessment of aquatic fungi species. 💧🍄

Stay tuned!!

💧🌍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

❄️🌍 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

Go team 🇸🇪!

Very important to highlight the work developed by ECRs!

#aquaticfungi #conservation #FUNACTION

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.

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

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!

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.

@biodiversaplus.bsky.social

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! 🍄💧
