The tool reveals richness hotspots from Ethiopia's Simien Mountains to Brazil's Cerrado savanna, while identifying rare endemic fungi in West Africa's forests and Tasmania's temperate ecosystems.

Fungi produce spores and can survive in adverse conditions and disperse themselves. The way the spores are formed, their size, color, and structure, all are used in identifying the fungi.
