In FunDive we work to put fungi biodiversity on the map to enhance European conservation efforts. Fungi are essential for our ecosystems but are often neglected in monitoring and practical conservation efforts, leaving them vulnerable to threats and habitat loss.

FunDive will combine citizen science, AI tools, and eDNA- based monitoring to develop better methodologies for fungal monitoring and conservation. In addition, we aim to explore changes in fungal communities over time and space and to assess the effectiveness of current conservation efforts towards globally threatened fungi.
