SPUN

SPUN (the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks) is a nonprofit scientific research organization focused on mapping and protecting mycorrhizal fungal networks. It builds an atlas of fungal biodiversity and studies how these underground ecosystems support climate and ecological systems. Working with researchers and local communities, SPUN uses field research, biodiversity data, and machine-learning tools to inform conservation, restoration, and land-management decisions, while advocating for underground ecosystems.
