FunDiS’s mission is to equip citizen scientists with the tools to document the diversity and distribution of fungi across North America. High quality observations of fungi on iNaturalist are an important part of this. Read moreIf you contribute your observations of fungi to FunDiS, they’ll become a part of a database of high quality observations that can be used by scientists and conservationists to better understand and protect fungi all across North America. What’s in it for you? You’re contributing to a worthwhile cause. And if your find hasn’t already been definitively identified, our expert identifiers will help with identification or give feedback on making your observations even more valuable.
