The importance and benefits of fungi in health, food production, cleaning polluted soils and restoring our ecosystems is fundamental and yet often ignored by the general public. The Mycoverse Foundation aims to bridge this information gap between the world's top mycologists and the general public.
Welcome

The Mycoverse Foundation is dedicated to the promotion of education, information and research on the fascinating subject of fungi. Our aim is to collect, manage and disseminate specialised knowledge about fungi and their diverse applications and effects. We address the general public as well as professionals and organisations.
Our mission
We promote interdisciplinary research and conservation of fungal species to maximise their benefits for humans, plants, animals and the environment. Our foundation is committed to education, communication and research in order to create a deeper understanding and a more conscious approach to fungi.
