SummaryBecause knowledge of fungal diversity is very incomplete, it is possible that anthropogenic impacts are driving species to extinction before they have been discovered. Fungal inventories are still incomplete and do not reflect the complete diversity of this large taxon. Whilst molecular advancements are leading to an increased rate of species discovery, there is still much to be done to understand the diversity of fungi, identify rare species and establish conservation goals. Citizen science via social media could play an increasingly important role in mycological research, and its continued development should be supported and encouraged. The involvement of non-professionals in data collection helps increase public awareness, as well as extending the scope and efficiency of fungal surveys. Future academic mycological research could benefit from social media interaction and engagement with the amateur mycological community, which may accelerate the achievement of more effective conservation goals.

真菌学社会网络是保护真菌生物多样性的前进方向

摘要由于对真菌多样性的了解非常不完整，人为影响有可能在物种被发现之前就将其推向灭绝。真菌清单仍然不完整，并不能反映这个大类群的完整多样性。虽然分子的进步导致物种发现率的提高，但在了解真菌的多样性、识别稀有物种和确立保护目标方面仍有许多工作要做。通过社交媒体进行的公民科学可以在真菌学研究中发挥越来越重要的作用，应该支持和鼓励其持续发展。非专业人员参与数据收集有助于提高公众意识，并扩大真菌调查的范围和效率。
