Fungal Diversity Survey (FUNDIS)
North America’s nonprofit that documents and protects fungi and their habitats through mobilizing community scientists.
FUNDIS is working to protect fungal diversity through conservation, education, and community engagement for a well-documented fungal world. We envision a world in which the fungal kingdom is fully documented, appreciated and protected.
FUNDIS is a nonprofit designed to document and protect fungi and their habitats across North America. Our goals are to help create a detailed inventory of fungal diversity across continental regions and ecosystems, identify key ecological interactions, contribute to the broader scientific knowledge of fungal ecosystems, and execute conservation strategies that actually include our beloved Fungal Kingdom.
We exist to remedy the lack of knowledge about Kingdom Fungi due to chronic underfunding. We have 38 staff, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of people rooting us on.
Please visit https://fundis.substack.com/ to sign up for our newsletter. Invite your friends to follow us, too. We can't protect fungi without community.
