MycoDAO is revolutionizing mycology by creating decentralized funding and technological platforms to unlock the economic and ecological potential of fungi, impacting biotechnology, environmental restoration, and sustainable materials.
Fungi, encompassing mycelium and mushrooms, represent Earth's largest and one of its oldest biological kingdoms. Fungi play a foundational role in ecosystems, recycling nutrients, decomposing organic matter, and forming symbiotic relationships with p...
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
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
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.
