Mycology May
Mycology May
Mycology May is a collaborative initiative between the Central Tablelands Regional Landcare Network (CTRLN) and Local Land Services (LLS). This month-long program aims to educate landholders and the broader community about the vital role of fungi in ecosystems, from bushlands to agricultural systems. The events not only raise awareness but also actively involve participants in citizen science, contributing critical data to enhance our understanding of fungal species in the New South Wales Central Tablelands region.
Project Overview
Throughout May, Mycology May features a variety of events designed for a diverse audience. These include fungi identification workshops, educational soil health sessions, scientific fungi surveys, and exploratory field walks. Expert mycologists, soil scientists, and ecologists lead these sessions, providing cutting-edge research and insights into the fascinating world of fungi.
To aid in the identification of fungi in the Central Tablelands and Central West of NSW, Local Land Services have created a comprehensive guide featuring 96 selected fungi species. This guide showcases conspicuous and distinctive species that are relatively easy to identify in the field.
