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