All ecosystems depend on fungi. Let’s make them part of your vision for a wilder world.
Fungi are becoming more prominent in our understanding of ecosystems. Before maximising their benefit, we need to know their diversity.
Generating baseline fungal data is central to our work, and it’s the key to helping you unlock greater natural capital potential in your restoration project. In a healthy ecosystem, there can be as many as six species of fungi for every species of plant, but we overlook them to our detriment. Historic land management practices have tended to diminish fungal diversity and their positive impact on ecosystem services. This creates a huge opportunity for us to reverse the trend, and it all starts with understanding your land’s biodiversity.
We conduct baseline mycological surveys, offer monitoring schemes, and synthesise our findings into biodiversity assessments that give you a clear picture of your site’s potential.
- Documenting diversity: depending on your needs, we offer comprehensive fungal surveys over entire sites, or more targeted options for the conservation of specific fungi associated with important habitat features (e.g., dead wood).
- Protected species: our survey package comes with a full analysis of the conservation importance of all fungal species recorded, including those present on the Biodiversity Action Plan, IUCN Red List, and regional conservation assessments.
- Monitoring progress: we will help you track the progress of your site’s recovery by integrating monitoring schemes to record changing fungal distributions and biodiversity uplift. Paired with our fungal rewilding solutions, this is the most effective way of enhancing the natural capital value and ecological services of your site.
Whether you’re interested in natural capital accounting, conservation, biodiversity net gain, or ecological productivity, we have the expertise to inventory, monitor, and evaluate your site’s fungal diversity.
