The Aspromonte Mycological and Cultural Association (A.M.C.A.) is organizing the sixth edition of “Aspromonte Mycologically”, in collaboration with the Network for the Study of Fungal Diversity (NDM) and under the patronage of the Municipality of Santo Stefano in Aspromonte (Reggio Calabria).

The Municipality of Monte Romano (Lazio) will host, at the Sala del Paesaggio Agrario, an event dedicated to the knowledge and conservation of fungal diversity, with particular focus on the mushroom Pleurotus eryngii — locally known as ferlengo or cardoncello — and its ecological relationship with the plant species Ferula communis and Eryngium campestre.

The process of enriching the Fungi Information System (SIF) continues with the acquisition of specimens from private herbaria, in order to ensure the preservation of mycological data and their availability to the scientific community.

On August 30 and 31, 2025, the Mico Weekend will take place in Trento—a weekend dedicated to the fascinating world of fungi, promoted by MUSE – Science Museum of Trento.
Two days to explore the fungal kingdom through species identification, etymology, and coevolution, with the support of experts in the field.

The collaboration between ISPRA and the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) continues for the census and monitoring of fungi in Italy, with the aim of integrating hiking activities with the collection of mycological data useful for biodiversity conservation.

Racconti di scienza” programme aired on 10 June 2025 on Rai Scuola, Professor Solveig Tosi, systematic botanist at the University of Pavia, describes the ecological roles of fungi and their potential for the future.

From 30 May to 2 June 2025, the 12th Scientific Committee of A.MI. Umbria will take place in Foligno (PG), organized in collaboration with the Gruppo Micologico Naturalistico Folignate.

As part of the 2025 Festival of Sustainable Development, the National Archaeological Museum of Civitavecchia is hosting a special event dedicated to the fascinating world of fungi, in collaboration with the Bioma association.

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.

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.

On 22, 23 and 24 November 2024, the ISPRA Network for the study of mycological diversity (NMD) is a guest in Follonica (GR) on the occasion of the 39th Regional Scientific Committee, organized by the Association of Mycological Groups of Tuscany (AGMT) and the Follonichese Group.

On 14 and 15 November 2024, the Network for the Study of Mycological Diversity (Ndm) of ISPRA will take part in the Mycological Conference ‘The Fungi of the Circeo National Park’, organised by the A.M.E.R. APS in Sabaudia (LT), with the moral patronage of the Circeo National Park Authority.

The event is organized by the Science Museum of Trento with the collaboration of the Network for the study of mycological diversity of ISPRA.

The launch of the Network for the study of mycological diversity of ISPRA (Ndm) and the “Fungi in the city” mycological exhibition set up at the Botanical Garden of Rome will be held on 11 November 2023.

On 4-9 September 2023, at Perugia, the ISPRA NDM Network participated in the XIX Congress of European Mycologists as part of the workshop “Data Management and Open Science.”
