Fungal Diversity Survey (FUNDIS) is an organization dedicated to engaging community scientists to help protect fungi.
We can help them by finding and documenting 20 fungi that rare, threatened, and under-documented fungal species in the Northeast. Scientists and conservationists need more data on these fungi in order to protect them. Your high quality observations can make a difference!
Participating is easy:
Check out their poster and booklet. Decide which of the target fungi might be growing in a habitat that you are planning to visit. For example, Billie’s Bolete has been found in Staten Island twice.
Print out the booklet pages for the species you’re interested in and bring them along or save them on your phone.
If you think you’ve found one of the target fungi, follow the instructions in the booklet. Consider emailing them at northeast_rare@fundis.org to let us know, and to ask any questions.
