WELCOME TO THE
FUNGAL DIVERSITY SURVEY

Fungal Diversity Survey (FUNDIS) is the nonprofit focusing on North American fungal conservation and documentation.

Our VISION: a world in which the fungal kingdom is fully documented, understood, appreciated, and protected.

Our MISSION: FUNDIS protects biodiversity through the conservation of fungi and their habitats by increasing knowledge and public awareness of their diversity and distribution, equipping and engaging community scientists, and partnering with land managers, conservationists, and scientists.

Our unprecedented statewide initiative (CA FUNDIS) to document and protect fungi across California has finished its first year. We are incredibly proud of our team. Please read about our work in the CA FUNDIS Year 1 Report and share it with your friends!

Thanks to the state of CA and the California Institute for Biodiversity, CA FUNDIS is a thriving unprecedented model for fungal documentation and protection for the rest of North America. Year 2 is poised to grow collections, focus collection strategy and collaboration, and continue sequencing and vouchering specimens to save for generations to come.
