Fungimap Inc

We record and map fungi in Australia. We spread the word about the essential role of fungi in biodiversity. We advocate for fungal conservation and investment in mycology. We would love you to join us and help with this work. *** Fungimap is a not for profit, citizen-science organisation dedicated to furthering the conservation and knowledge of Australian fungi. We started our work in 1995 as a mapping project and incorporated as an association in 2005. Our aims are to: - Stimulate and support the study of Australian macrofungi through the accumulation, storage, analysis and dissemination of information about fungi. - Link and bring together those with an interest in Australian macrofungi, providing opportunities for sharing and learning; and fostering relationships between groups and individuals that share the objectives of Fungimap. - Promote the appreciation of fungi with a focus on Australian macrofungi in the natural environment. - Foster the conservation of Australian macrofungi. We are based at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne but our remit and membership are Australia-wide. Our work is funded mainly by membership fees, donations and project-based grants. We are a registered charity and donations to us of more than $2 are tax-deductible. We are governed by a committee of management that is elected by Fungimap members.
