Thanks Cecil for the Nature Data Sharing Initiative launch last week, a great read on how to make nature data more accessible with practical tips and a template data sharing agreement. Ground data as the "gold-standard" in nature data - we couldn't agree more. And we think about how important this will be in building more accuracy into modelled data.

At DNAir, we’re pioneering biodiversity monitoring solutions using airborne environmental DNA, and fungi are a group we’re particularly excited about. 🍄🌲 As Samuel Sinclair highlights eloquently 👇 traditional methods struggle to monitor these hyperdiverse group. Here’s why airborne eDNA is set to become a game-changer for fungi monitoring: 1️⃣ Automated Air Sampling Our technology enables long-term, autonomous air sampling, capturing spores as they’re released during those brief moments when fruiting bodies appear. This gives us a uniquely complete and continuous view of fungal biodiversity. ⏳✨ 2️⃣ Wide Area Coverage Fungi release spores that travel with the wind, allowing a single sampler to monitor large areas efficiently. Wind patterns help spores come to us, making this method scalable and highly effective across different landscapes. 🌍💨 3️⃣ Genetic Identification Airborne eDNA allows us to detect and identify fungi through genetic markers, even in the absence of reference databases. This is critical for uncovering the diversity of a group that is notoriously difficult to classify. 🔬🧬 Fungi are key players in ecosystems but are often overlooked in biodiversity assessments due to the challenges in monitoring them effectively. At DNAir, we’re excited to harness the power of airborne eDNA to deliver truly comprehensive biodiversity insights, including - and especially - for fungi. Want to learn more? Visit us at www.dnair.earth and reach out — we’d love to discuss how airborne eDNA can enhance biodiversity monitoring, one spore at a time. 🚀🌿
Corporate biodiversity strategies | Co-founder and Director @ Biodiversify Ltd. | Biodiversity Sustainability, PhD
My first bolete of the season! Rather than make yet another post about metaphorical interconnections I want to talk about the sexiest of topics, biodiversity datasets. As I’m more of a social scientist than a data expert I asked my extremely well informed colleague Peter McCann to share some insights from their technical work on CSRD, TNFD and SBTN as I know that fungi data is a topic close to their heart. Fungi are worth talking about because they provide a great illustration of the persistent challenges in biodiversity data. They consistently resist definition, are a nightmare to survey and act in persistently unexpected ways. Here are some key insights into the wonderful world of fungi and their implications for corporate biodiversity action: 🍄 Collecting data on Fungi is extremely hard Mushrooms are ephemeral, they pop up briefly somewhere between once a year and once a decade making surveys ineffective. This makes them extremely difficult to survey effectively, so as a result they tend to just get ignored. Certainly they aren’t turning up on English biodiversity net gain reports… 🍄 Fungi are extremely poorly represented in both local global datasets Data collection challenges, lack of records and research limitations mean that the factors that determine fungal diversity and loss are poorly understood. It's hard to identify trends or even be particularly specific about the pressures exerted by the private sector. 🍄 Fungi don’t care about your attempts to define them Mushrooms of course are just the fruiting body. The important part is the mycelium, an interconnected web under the soil which can grow to incredible sizes. The largest known living being in the world is a honey mushroom which grows under 3.5 square miles of Oregan forest. Is this a threatened population of one individual just a step away from local extinction, or a robust area of fungal activity? They also directly challenge the concept of individuals; if some event split the Oregan mushroom in two would it now be two separate massive beings? What if they then reconnected, would that effectively half the local population? 🍄 Your supply chain quite possibly depends on mushrooms Many supply chains depend on fungi far more than many people realize. They are pollutant removing, nutrient cycling, symbiotic little machines which play a critical role in the resilience of the ecosystems. If your supply chain includes timber or paper, then the chances are that an undocumented mushroom is playing a key role in maintaining your profit margin. 🍄🍄🍄 The humble mushroom is a poignant reminder that to use our existing data effectively we need to remember that we are working with incomplete information based on a mountain of assumptions. Perhaps one of the most important roles of biodiversity experts is to give companies enough confidence to make choices, but not so much confidence that we forget the limitations of our knowledge.
