I am currently raising a colony of Trachymyrmex septentrionalis, and their fungus is quickly running out, as I didn't keep it at a good enough temperature and humidity within the first hours of their capture. Because of this, workers are starting to die off, and I fear that many more will die if they cannot sustain the little fungus they have. They are not yet in their final formicarium, as I need grout in order to complete it, which I will be getting this weekend. What I need though for the ants is replacement fungus. I don't need too much, probably only a fist sized amount would be sufficient, and it could be from pretty much any species of Attine, as Trachymyrmex are known to farm a few different species of fungus, but not fungus from Cyphomyrmex as they farm a form of yeast. So if anyone owns Atta or Acromyrmex or Trachymyrmex and they are willing to send me some replacement fungus, please PM me and let me know.

Yes please! I would find a nest myself, but this nest I've collected is the only one I've ever seen besides those two nest I saw on Hilton Head Island.
