About Spun

spun.earth

SPUN (Society for the Protection of Underground Networks) is a scientific research organisation that maps and monitors mycorrhizal fungal communities and other subterranean ecological networks. It publishes the "Underground Atlas" — an interactive mycorrhizal biodiversity map and open-data hub with downloadable datasets and explainer articles for researchers. SPUN also produces resources on climate impacts, threats, and conservation strategies, supporting scientists and policymakers. Through research, data-sharing, and advocacy, it works to document and protect underground fungal networks.
