Two new #FreshwaterFungi species in China enhance #biodiversity knowledge https://phys.org/news/2024-02-freshwater-fungi-species-china-biodiversity.html paper: https://mycokeys.pensoft.net/article/115209/

"Freshwater #fungi are highly diverse and frequently reported from submerged wood, #freshwater insects, herbaceous substrates, sediments, leaves, foams, and living plants. Most species are well-known as #saprobes and they play an important role in ecological functioning as decomposers, but also can be #pathogens as well as #symbionts on humans and #plants."

@nature pics in collage main post centre-two views of #moss and #lichens in the bush on the farm-looking happy with snowmelt on mild days; Does anyone know-- on these days when it is a little above freezing, and snow melts on moss/lichen- they may absorb the water and look 'alive' but do they actually metabolise at these times? #mosstodon #lichensubscribe #botany #NonvascularPlants #symbionts
