Fungimap

The fungus flora of Australia is remarkably poorly known. While there are thousands of people who can identify orchids, eucalypts or wattles at sight, there are very few amateur or professional naturalists who can do the same for the fungi. Fungimap is a collaborative project between professional and amateur mycologists and naturalists to gather information about the distribution of fungi throughout Australia.

Please note:
Fungimap operates on very limited funding, so unfortunately we do not have the resources to offer an ID service. We can only accept records of the 100 target species. We recommend you purchase the Fungimap CD-ROM if you need help identifying these. For other fungus species, check the Newsletter for dates of meetings, contact your Regional Coordinator, or you could try looking on the following websites:
Fungi at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
Natural Selection
The Hidden Forest
