The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Mykologie e.V. (DGfM) is an association dedicated to the promotion and understanding of fungi. The DGfM offers various qualifications and training, including the examination for Fungi Expert (PSV) and Field Mycologist. These examinations are standardized and conducted by recognized examiners to ensure that candidates possess the necessary knowledge and skills to handle fungi.
The main mission of the DGfM is to disseminate knowledge about fungi and educate the public about the importance of mycology. The association places great value on collaboration between science and practice and promotes the exchange of information among its members.
Although the DGfM does not mention specific sustainability goals in the area of environmental protection or climate, it indirectly contributes to environmental awareness by promoting the understanding and sustainable use of fungi. Fungi play an important role in ecosystems and can be used in biological pest control or as a sustainable food source.
The DGfM is a central point of contact for anyone interested in mycology. Through its comprehensive training and continuing education offerings, as well as its network, it promotes knowledge and the application of fungi in various fields.
