WELCOME TO THE
FUNGAL DIVERSITY SURVEY


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.


What we do

We equip community and professional scientists with the tools to document the diversity and distribution of fungi across North America.


Why we do it

To increase awareness of the critical role of fungi in the health of our ecosystems and allow us to better protect them in a world of rapid climate change and habitat loss.


Who we're for 

We aim to engage all levels of mushroom lovers who want to contribute basic knowledge about fungal diversity and distribution.
 

    

NEW: FUNDIS Local Project DNA Sequencing

September - January 2023 
Big news! FUNDIS is opening up DNA sequencing again for FUNDIS Local Projects thanks to a partnership with Stephen Russell and his company Mycota. All of our FUNDIS Local Projects will be eligible to send Stephen specimens for DNA sequencing. Our FUNDIS Volunteer Sequence Validation Committee will then analyze the results and determine the species.
