One of the highlights of the workshop was a foray at the Dalton cricket grounds. Participants had the opportunity to put their newfound knowledge to the test, discovering a diverse array of fungi. Many participants were amazed at the diversity of fungi that can be found in a small, unassuming patch of bushland. About 15 different species were found on the foray, ranging from bracket fungi to mushrooms big and small. 

The Fungi Discovery Workshop was a resounding success, thanks to the brilliant Alison Pouliot and the enthusiastic participation of the community. Events like these serve as a reminder of the incredible diversity and importance of the natural world and create opportunities for community connection.

This event was made possible through the Private Land Conservation Matters project, a partnership between NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust and Landcare NSW to raise awareness and support private land conservation efforts across the state.
