Why Fungi Could Get Higher Conservation Status And Why It Matters The UK and Chile are proposing at the UN’s biodiversity conference COP16 in Colombia that fungi receive the same status to animals and plants. This could help foster and funding research.

Our first Bluesky post contains some good news for #fungi! After a long history of being unprotected, COP16 marked a huge advancement in the conservation of fungi. 🍄🥳

Thanks to work led by our partners at Fungi Foundation, The Fungal Conservation Pledge was introduced at #COP16. bit.ly/3Vl9GHL

Why decentralize science on #fungi? 🔬

Africa is home to rich biodiversity. But at present, scientists in Africa must send their samples of soil & underground fungi out of the country or continent for DNA sequencing.

Study explores role of mycorrhizal fungi in Seychelles’ unique ecosystems The Seychelles Islands Foundation (SIF) is conducting a study on mycorrhizal fungi in two UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the islands that it manages; the Aldabra Atoll and the Vallee de Mai. Mycorrhi...

Fungi live in the threatened mangrove forests in Seychelles. 🇸🇨

SPUN Underground Explorer Laura Montano investigates whether mycorrhizal #fungi help Seychelles’ mangroves to survive. The research could prove vital for mangrove conservation. bit.ly/4fg7SqV
