Abstract
The IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) launched a new Specialist Group in October 2023: the Aquatic Fungi Specialist Group, focusing on both freshwater and marine fungi. This group developed from FUNACTION, which was funded through Biodiversa+ (funaction.eu). The new Specialist Group will develop the scientific and coordination basis for conservation assessment, planning and action for aquatic fungi, and disseminate appropriate monitoring and assessment methods to practitioners, researchers and conservationists. Aquatic fungi are a polyphyletic group defined by their ecology (growing and reproducing mainly in the sea or freshwater). They belong mainly to the phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota and Microsporidia, but include representatives of 13 phyla.
