MycoMap BC (through Mycota) will run for at least 12 months, you can submit just about any fungus or slime mould. There is no limit on the number of samples you can send in. You can send anything in as long as it was collected in 2025. This is a really great opportunity for northern BC especially because we are very underrepresented for how large our part of the province is!
Lichens are excluded as I believe you need to isolate each organism before testing and that is a totally different work flow.

I'm not affiliated with this project, just wanted to share with you folks because I think a lot of the promotion for it was done on the facebook mushroom forums and not everyone uses those.
Yeah, I don't know if I've seen anything other than barcoding for these types of projects. It's better than nothing, though, which is sort of what we have at the moment, especially for northern regions.
