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 trees are failing to adapt to climate change
Certain fungi give trees nutrients and water, but heat and drought are putting both at risk.
⚠️ 1 in 3 trees globally faces extinction, according to the IUCN. Why are so many trees failing to adapt to the climate crisis?
It might have something to do with a lack of #fungi.

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.

Picture of two little mushrooms with yellow caps. Sun is shining through the thin caps, lighting them up.
