“We
don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions
to participate in the process of change.
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people,
can transform the world.”

Foreword
One of the greatest pleasures that a naturalist can experience is wandering
through forests and woodlands during the wetter months of the year and
observing the myriad fungal forms that appear, as if by magic, from the soil,
litter, logs and trees. After the heavy rains in Gippsland before Easter 2011,
the forests and woodlands around Genoa erupted into a fungal “bloom” of
great diversity of form and colour, reminiscent of the desert blooming after
the drought breaks. Faced with such incredible numbers and diversity it can
be very difficult to put names to them all.
In fact, it can be difficult to identify fungi under normal circumstances.
Simple morphological attributes are not always sufficient to identify species.
Microscopic examination and DNA analysis may also be required. As with
most living things subjected to closer examination, the degree of our ignorance
becomes more evident and the taxonomy therefore more complicated.
Nevertheless, naturalists working in the field need to be able to identify
fungi with some degree of confidence. They cannot take a fully equipped
laboratory with them, but a small hand-held electronic device is another
matter altogether. This e-book,
Fungi In Australia
can be uploaded into such
devices and easily carried into the field.
Fungi In Australia
is not intended to
be a complete treatise on all fungi but an aid to the identification of some fungi
encountered in our native forests. It is predominantly based on Victorian fungi
observed, collected and identified during the many fungal forays undertaken
by the Fungi Group of the FNCV. It follows on from “The Fungi CD”, also a
much valued resource. This long-awaited e-book field guide has the facility to
be regularly and easily updated as new data become available.
A picture is worth a thousand words and this guide makes good use of that
assertion with hundreds of high resolution images of fungi in situ as well as
additional, anatomical views to aid identification. It has a logical, hierarchical
structure that is easily navigated and will be useful to both amateur and
professional alike. It is also an excellent introduction to Fungi.
Fungi In Australia
is another valued addition to the many field guides and
natural history publications produced by the members of the FNCV since it
began in 1880.
