Some years ago, we started talking about #aquaticfungi conservation in the IUCN SSC Freshwater Conservation Committee. Not only do we now have an IUCN SSC Aquatic Fungi Specialist Group, but our Indianapolis Zoo grant recipient @huzefaraj.bsky.social described a new genus from Indiana!

Huge shout out to our "stick finders" Luke Jacobus (also an Indy Zoo grant recipient) & Sergio Henriques (previous Conservation Coordinator at the Global Center for Species Survival). I am just sad it wasn't one of my sticks that found fame! 😂
