Fungal Diversity Survey is hiring! Help us spread the news โ€” Weโ€™re seeking a Director of Communications to join our team of people protecting fungi. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ„โ€๐ŸŸซ๐Ÿซถ This unique opportunity aims to support this nationwide fungal conservation nonprofit by way of strategic messaging and fundraising through digital, print, and news media.

Are you passionate about marketing and mushrooms? The ideal candidate will have knowledge of nonprofit communications, content creation, writing, fundraising, and most importantly, a heart for mycology.

This is a part-time, fully remote position.

๐Ÿ”— APPLY TODAY: visit FUNDIS.org/get-involved for the full job description. Send resume and cover letter to [email protected].

โœจ Share with your mycelial connections!โœจ Do you know a mushroom club thatโ€™s brand identity is top notch? The mycological community is made up largely by amateur mycologists, many of which do the important work of fundraising and promoting their club, often as a volunteer role. Well, Fungal Diversity Survey has an exciting opportunity to intersect those skills in a professional position.

๐Ÿ’Œ A lil note from Veronica: Hi, all! Iโ€™ve been honored to share about the amazing talents of the entire FUNDIS team and their successes, whether it be photography, community engagement, undescribed species, and much, much more.

Iโ€™ve felt so ingrained in this community here since beginning to volunteer with FUNDIS in 2023 to stepping into this position in 2024.

This role leveled up my relationship with fungi from a casual setting at my local park to bringing fungi indoors behind my desk, making meaningful connections through communications. I was able to see fungi through a new lens more interdisciplinary, connecting the dots of habitat protection with land managers, rare fungi data with Red List assessments, and opportunities to learn and/or fund DNA sequencing with my fungi friends here in Pennsylvania as well as countless others throughout the continent we serve.

I wonโ€™t be a stranger; the mission of fungal conservation is something Iโ€™m carrying with me in my heart as I continue into this next chapter. See you all down the trail at a foray or fungi fest!

An itty bitty โ‚—แตขโ‚œโ‚œโ‚—โ‚‘ blue polypore with BIG conservation value! Meet Neoalbatrellus subcaeruleoporus ๐Ÿฉต๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ„โ€๐ŸŸซ

This cap-and-stem polypore is one of the 20 target rare species on our West Coast Rare Fungi Challenge. This observation from eloraa comes out of Cortes Island, British Columbia, Canada.

There are now 144 observations of this species since the West Coast Rare Fungiโ€™s inception in 2020. This distribution data is critical to fungal conservation for this and every one of the four Rare Fungi Challengesโ€™ target species, so shoutout to our community of people protecting fungi for your keen eye. Seriously some mushroom hunting talent to find not only a rare mushroom but also a teeny tiny version of it!
