With a vision of Brazil as a country that values and conserves fungi, the new specialist group was formed by a diverse group of Brazilian mycologists and lichenologists with a common aim to include fungi in species conservation programmes, environmental legislation, public policy, ecosystem management and science outreach initiatives. As there is currently no public policy to include fungi in the conservation agenda in Brazil, in part because of the absence of an official national Red List for fungi (for an unofficial national list, see mindfunga.ufsc.br/mind-funga), the diversity of fungi is being neglected by decision-makers, despite their importance for ecosystem dynamics and health. In January 2023, the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC) created a new specialist group to focus on the conservation of Brazilian fungi: the IUCN SSC Brazil Fungal Specialist Group (iucnbrazfun.com, @iucnfungibrazil and iucnssc fungibrazil).
