Discovering fungi in Ferntree Gully Reserve

Last weekend Mulloon Institute’s Laura Fisher joined Maddi O'Brien from Watershed Landcare, artist Leanne Thompson, and Mal Stokes of the Ferntree Gully Reserve Trust, and her daughter Bonnie to scope out the site for the Mycology Mystery Tour happening on 27 May at the Ferntree Gully Reserve near Rhylstone in NSW.

There is an abundance of fungi to be found nestled in this beautiful hidden canyon.

Participants on the tour will descend into the gully on a treasure hunt bushwalk. There they will discover surprise creations celebrating the magnificent role fungi play as agents of health and hydration in our ecosystems. After a picnic lunch, Leanne will also lead a collaborative mycelial sculpture project. There are still a couple of spots left on this tour!

Mycology May is an initiative run by Local Land Services in partnership with the Central Tablelands Regional Landcare Network.
