Critical Collaboration: How You Can Protect Fungal Futures

Every person has something they bring to the table when it comes to protecting fungal futures.

Fungi are the unseen architects of our ecosystems: decomposers, connectors, and quiet powerhouses of biodiversity. Yet, they remain largely overlooked in conservation policy, scientific funding, and ecological planning. At Wild Fungal Trust, we’re changing that narrative. And we can’t do it alone.

Whether you’re a policymaker, scientist, or philanthropist, there’s a critical role for you in advancing fungal conservation. Here’s how you can join us in protecting nature’s untamed guardians.

Governments & Agencies

Wild Fungal Trust partners with government bodies at the local, state, and national levels to integrate fungi into environmental policy. From land management strategies to restoration projects, we work with forestry services, environmental agencies, and legislators to ensure fungi aren’t left out of the biodiversity conversation.

We welcome collaboration with governments ready to prioritize ecosystem resilience and recognize fungi as essential conservation targets.

Researchers & Academics

Our mission thrives on rigorous, collaborative science. We work closely with universities, field researchers, and mycologists to expand the global body of knowledge on fungal species and their ecological roles. Whether you’re conducting lab research or leading field expeditions, we provide access to data, resources, and a growing community of experts in fungal ecology.

Let’s push the boundaries of mycology together and translate insight into impact.
