The Fungi Information System (SIF) has been updated with two key improvements:
The JoNeF Project (Joint Network for Wild Fungi) is an initiative promoted by ISPRA to advance the knowledge and conservation of macrofungi in Europe. Presented to the IMPEL network in November 2022, it was approved by the General Assembly on June 8, 2023, and officially launched in July 2023.
The Network for the Study of Mycological Diversity is actively conducting surveys to improve its initiatives. Explore the results of completed surveys and take part in ongoing ones to contribute with your expertise.
An important milestone for the conservation of fungal diversity is marked. The new update highlights the growing threats facing these often-overlooked organisms.
Civitavecchia, July 4–28, 2025
The Natura in Contatto Festival returns to the evocative setting of the Ancient Fortress in Civitavecchia’s Historic Port: a journey through nature, art and culture, promoted by Bioma and Ndm, with the free patronage of local and regional authorities.
During a field activity, two researchers from ISPRA reported and collected a specimen of Rhodotus palmatus within the “Fosso della Cecchignola.” This Natural Monument, established as part of the Nature Reserves managed by RomaNatura and located in the Agro Romano area, represents a small but significant green space rich in biodiversity.
On the occasion of the XII Scientific Committee of A.MI. Umbria (Foligno, May 30-June 2), the new video of the NMD network will be officially presented, dedicated to the promotion of the national census of macromycetes.
A collaboration agreement has been signed between ISPRA and the Associazione Culturale Naturalistica Bioma, which now officially joins the network for the study of fungal diversity.
