General explanation attachmentForm 990, Part III: Notable Achievements1. Received 4,350 enrollments from 80 countries in our Free Mycological Curriculum in English, while 370 educators accessed the Spanish translation of the curriculum.2. Mistercaps became a new partner to assist in providing teachers with free mushroom grow kits + donate 1% of all their proceeds from these mushroom grow kits to the Fungi Foundation.3. Our Education Lead taught lessons from our Fungi Education resources to over 200 students, aged 5 to 15, in New York and New Jersey. 4. We cataloged 284 uses from 184 species of fungi, using publicly available information. These uses have been documented among approximately 90 Indigenous Peoples, local communities, or traditional societies spanning about 48 countries. 5. We released the Fungi Foundations Ethnomycology Ethical Guidelines. 6. Giuliana Furci from the Fungi Foundation and Dr. Bryn Dentinger of the University of Utah discovered and described a new species of mushroom: Psilocybe stametsii named in honor of the legendary mycologist Paul Stamets.7. Our team, together with the Society for the Protection of the Underground Networks (SPUN) spent three weeks at the southern tip of the South American continent, in Chile, doing above and below-ground fieldwork. They were joined by the National Geographic Society to film a documentary. 8. A team of mycologists from the Fungi Foundation traveled to Chiles Nahuelbuta mountain range searching for the Big Puma Fungus (Austroomphaliaster nahuelbutensis), a fungus that had only been documented by science once in 1988. They found it. 9. Premier of the documentary 10 Days in the Forest, screened in six festivals in Chile, Mexico, the US and Austria.10. Developed and published the online tool Fungal Conservation Tracker. 11. Over 90 organizations and institutions used or adopted the term funga in their communications, based on the Fungi Foundations advocacy for this terminology. 12. Daniela Torres, Programs Lead at the Fungi Foundation, gave a talk at the Latin American Mycology Congress and took part in the pre-congress Workshop 3rd IUCN Latin American Workshop for the evaluation of fungal and lichen species. 13. The work of the Fungi Foundation was featured 70 times during the year in articles, digital and printed publications, podcasts, and videos.
