CITIZEN SCIENCE

Science belongs to everyone. We mobilize communities to document, map, and understand the fungal kingdom — turning curiosity into data and data into discovery.

Biodiversity Mapping

Systematic documentation of fungi by region. Every observation feeds an open dataset helping researchers track distribution, seasonality and ecological change.

  • Open dataset under CC-BY licence
  • GBIF integration in progress
  • Active volunteers: 60+ across 4 countries
  • Open call for new territories
