Fungi Hut
Fungi may be the superheroes of the climate crisis. This incredibly diverse group of beings ranges from delicious mushrooms to hydrocarbon-breaking fungi. At REAP we are primarily interested in the application of fungi for remediation, nutrient cycling, and soil health.
To expand the impact of the Fungi Hut, we need interested community members like you! Join us and explore your interest in fungi while working on behalf of your community.
There are 2 main ways to stay engaged:
Email List: We’ll keep you posted on what’s going on.
Guild: A little more hands on, a lot like a club!

Our Program
REAP’s Fungi Hut focuses on mushrooms as the healers of land and an anchor point for communities to grow food and foster nutrient-heavy products. We are eager to educate, cultivate and remediate through the ecological power of fungi, ultimately creating pathways to impact in mycoremediation and other applied fields. They’re tasty, too!
In the World
Fungi are all the rage – at the farmer’s market, in the lab, and in the soil beneath our feet. More and more, we are seeing water and soil remediation projects calling on the power of fungi to undo damages and enhance plant health. However, mycoremediation and mycology more broadly are new, under-explored fields, and there’s so much we don’t understand. By exploring the state of the field and helping push for impact opportunities in mycoremediation, REAP can increase the impact and visibility of this incredible form of life.
Career Pathways
We need people who understand the what, why, and how of mycoremediation. From program managers to mycologists, from cultivators to boots on the ground, there is ample need for expertise and application in the fungi field. It all starts with curiosity, exploration, and opportunity, rolling up into REAP’s workforce development programs.
