MycoDAO accelerates mycology by funding and developing decentralized technologies that unleash fungi’s potential across biotech, environmental restoration, and sustainable materials.



Fungi, encompassing mycelium and mushrooms, represent Earth's largest and one of its oldest biological kingdoms. They are vital to ecosystems: recycling nutrients, decomposing matter, and forming symbiotic plant relationships. Fungi sustain soil heal...

Research Focus Areas
Bioremediation

Bioremediation

Transforming fungi into living biofactories to produce useful materials like bioactive compounds, enzymes, and biodegradable components. This includes modifying oyster mushrooms for pollutant breakdown, medical compound synthesis, and creating sustainable biomaterials.


Franchise Labs

Franchise Labs

Establishing modular, self-contained labs for fungal research, equipped with DNA sequencers, microscopes, and culture tools. These labs empower local communities, researchers, and citizen scientists to study, preserve, and utilize fungi for innovation and ecological restoration.


Mycological Education Funding

Mycological Education Funding

Supporting budding mycologists with $2,000 annual scholarships across 80+ societies under NAMA. This initiative promotes education, fieldwork, and research, fostering the next generation of fungal scientists to advance biodiversity preservation and sustainable practices.
