Fungal spores under a microscope.

We’re documenting California’s fungi and building the tools so anyone can.

What we do

We collect and sequence fungal specimens, build high-quality open datasets, and develop the tools and workflows to make that process rigorous, reproducible, and designed to extend beyond mycology to open biology broadly.

Come do it with us

We’re a community of biologists, builders, and curious people building infrastructure for open science. Contributors come from a range of backgrounds, including communities underrepresented in STEM.
