Fungi getting their due!

For the first time in its 130+ year history, National Geographic Magazine has placed fungi as the cover story! And we are here to celebrate it!

In addition to NatGeo's including fungi in their definition of “wildlife,” NatGeo has revealed a new issue of the magazine today. It not only features morels on the cover but also includes four distinct articles on fungi: as a potential antidote for devastating plant diseases; as a danger to hitchhikers; as a key to cancer research breakthroughs; and as a solution to the world’s fast fashion problem.

The edition also covers the efforts of the initiative to include fungi in the conservation frameworks at the local government and international policy levels, as well as presenting the adoption of the term "funga" by the National Geographic Society and their step of supporting more fungi related projects through grants.

"The work of The Fungi Foundation has been instrumental in helping people worldwide better understand the importance of fungi, and we couldn't be happier to make this critical form of life the subject of our cover story in the April issue of National Geographic. Our hope is to show readers just how fascinating these organisms are, and how vital a role they play in our ecosystems and in our lives," said Nathan Lump, National Geographic's editor-in-chief.

Visit NatGeo.com and delve into the most fascinating aspects of these often-overlooked organisms – from forming the biome in our bodies to the promise they represent for humanity.

Stay tuned for the last piece of news on this historic day for .
