Welcome to the Fungimap website

Fungimap is dedicated to improving knowledge and conservation of Australian macrofungi.  

Our emphasis is on enjoying and learning about fungi and our focus is on macrofungi in the natural environment.

Our mottos are 'Putting Australian fungi on the map' and 'Community based science in action'.

The aims of Fungimap are:

• To stimulate and support the study and appreciation of Australian macrofungi.
• To promote the conservation of Australian macrofungi.
• To link people with an interest in Australian macrofungi, providing opportunities for sharing and learning.
• To foster relationships between groups and individuals that share the objectives of Fungimap.

What does Fungimap do?

• One of the main activities of Fungimap is the mapping of more than 100 readily recognisable target species.
• Fungimap also publishes books (Fungi down under) and CD-ROMS about fungi, and sells various publications about fungi.
• The Fungimap Newsletter appears several times a year.
• Every two years, there is a Fungimap Conference.
• Fungimap organises occasional masterclasses in fungal identification.
• Fungimap contributes to enhancing the conservation of fungi by making submissions to reviews of biodiversity policy.
