More about the Specialist Group
Through the Mushroom, Bracket, and Puffball Specialist Group conservation, we build awareness of fungi and the importance of conserving them, build participation among mycological communities, and greatly increase the number of fungi on national and global Red Lists.
We aim to have fungal conservation efforts developed substantially. There will be broader interest in and understanding of the need for including fungi in conservation discussions and actions. Provide insight into the conservation status of mushrooms and related fungi.
