The California Fungal Diversity Survey (CA FUNDIS)

Fill the Gap in California’s Biodiversity

California is recognized as one of only 36 global biodiversity hotspots, yet the vital fungal networks anchoring our forests, coastlines, and deserts remain almost entirely undocumented. We cannot protect what we haven't mapped.

Launched as an unprecedented project to combat the climate crisis, CA FUNDIS directly supports California’s Executive Order N-82-20 (30x30)—the historic mission to conserve 30% of the state’s lands and coastal waters by 2030. By supporting this initiative, you are building a replicable, state-wide model for fungal documentation and conservation.

Your tax-deductible gift puts tools into the hands of community scientists, preserves critical specimens in local herbaria, grows our DNA barcode library, and integrates open-source data to directly guide state land management. 

Stand with us to make California a global leader in fungal conservation.
