Protecting North America’s Rare Fungi — Before They’re Lost

FUNDIS protects fungal diversity and the habitats fungi depend on by mobilizing a continent-wide network of community scientists and partnering with researchers, land managers, and conservationists. Together, we document North America’s fungal biodiversity, advance scientific knowledge, and provide the evidence needed to guide conservation.

We equip people across North America to document fungal diversity, find rare species, and contribute observations that expand what we know about fungi, their distribution, and their habitats.

Community science

We advance fungal knowledge through field documentation, species identification, DNA sequencing, biodiversity data, and collaboration with researchers and institutions.

Fungal research

We turn scientific evidence into conservation impact by working with researchers, land managers, and conservationists to protect fungi and the habitats they depend on.
