CELEBRATE OUR ELDERS
We strive to document the ancestral relationships between fungi and other organisms, including humans.
EXPLORE THE LAST WILD PLACES ON EARTH
We work to discover and catalogue the fungal diversity across all continents and campaign for the protection of those habitats, through our expeditions.
PROTECT THE FUNGI
•We tirelessly lobby for governments, educational and environmental institutions to include fungi in their language and conservation initiatives.
•We are developing protocols to determine the probability of extinction of fungi in every continent using IUCN Red List Criteria.
EDUCATE THE PUBLIC
•Our goal is to ensure that as much is taught about fungi in schools worldwide as of plants and animals, as part of our Education Program.
•We aim to expand the number of people contributing to the discovery and documentation of species worldwide through citizen science programs.
