In a nutshell
Funga utilizes the forest fungal microbiome to boost forestry health and combat climate change, enriching microbial diversity. They introduce a diverse range of fungi and microbes into degraded areas, promoting quicker tree growth, increased carbon storage, and the development of robust, biodiverse forests.

In 2025, Funga reached a defining milestone by closing its first sale of biodiversity-powered carbon removal credits with Netflix as its first buyer. This partnership marks a strong market signal for a new class of climate solutions that integrate carbon removal with ecosystem restoration. Through this agreement, Funga will enroll more than 28,000 acres into its program, using its fungal restoration technology to rebuild soil microbiomes, accelerate tree growth, and increase carbon sequestration from the ground up.
Funga also advanced two important partnerships to scale its technology in real-world restoration projects. With Chestnut Carbon, Funga is integrating its inoculation into large-scale afforestation efforts across degraded lands in the Southeastern U.S., including the planting of more than 300,000 inoculated trees. By restoring soil microbiomes at planting, these forests can grow faster, store more carbon, and regenerate ecosystems more effectively from the outset.
In parallel, its collaboration with the American Forest Foundation (AFF) focuses on enabling small and family landowners to convert underused farmland into carbon-storing forests through the Fields & Forests program. By combining AFF’s afforestation expertise with Funga’s soil restoration technology, this initiative improves forest resilience while expanding access to carbon markets—demonstrating a more inclusive and scalable model for nature-based climate solutions.
