Let's try to find some #AquaticHyphomycete.
Thank you Fay for introducing me to this topic @fayrnhawk.bsky.social #microfungi

So excited for Monae Taylor from Western Kentucky University to defend her Master's thesis research today! Monae has been working with us since 2023, catching bats in Panama, Sardinia, and Czechia. 🦇🪰🍄 #TeamLaboul #microfungi #NSFfunded

A solitary, translucent amber mushroom stands delicate and upright amidst a bed of moist moss and lichen in the Dandenong Ranges. Its glossy, striated cap reflects soft light, resembling glass or jelly, while its thin stem blends seamlessly into the lush, organic textures below. The background fades into a dreamy bokeh of green and yellow tones, highlighting the fungus's small but striking presence in its miniature world.

#Microfungi from my day :) #Fungifriends

Another stick but this time with a coating of the #Microfungi #Nectria #pseudotrichia
#Fungifriends #Fungi

#Sticks are great for #microfungi like #Stilbella #Fungifriends

#microfungi? maybe.

Not a bad #microfungi find while doing yardwork today. #Fungifriends

#microfungi like #Stilbella don't amaze at a glance, but get up close and they are some deep sea alien looking life forms! #Fungifriends

Glossy green leaves of Cowberry, with dark purple-brown blotches on many of them. Surrounded by other dwarf shrubs, with brownish Heather, red-stemmed Crowberry with whorls of green, needle-like leaves, and occasional bare green stems of Bilberry

The underside of a Cowberry leaf, pale green and obovate in shape, with purple-grown blotches, picked and sat on the palm of a man’s hand

Anyone know what’s responsible for this purple blotching on this Cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea)? My 1st thought was a fungus, but now I’m wondering if it might be a leaf miner moth like Fomoria weaveri? Help please!

Knowledge gaps explored for Laboulbeniomycetes, a clade of understudied microfungi, including a new shortfall related to a lack of taxonomic expertise Despite escalating efforts to document and understand biodiversity, gaps in knowledge persist due to the inherent complexity of biological systems and the sheer scale of global biodiversity. Such know...

📣New book chapter preprint: We explored knowledge gaps for #Laboulbeniomycetes, a clade of understudied #microfungi, and introduced a new #shortfall named after Roland Thaxter.

Big thanks to the coauthors! @tommartin2024.bsky.social @dhaelewa.bsky.social
