ABOUT FAR SOUTH FUNGI
Founded in 2021 as a social enterprise business, the aim of Far South Fungi is to support fungi education, tourism and to raise funds for Australian fungi research whilst having fungi fun :-)
​
Far South Fungi raises money by creating educational tools, gifts and souvenirs featuring Australian fungi and by donating a portion of the proceeds to Australian fungi research organisations such as Fungimap.
​
Far South Fungi was inspired by the diverse fungi found on just 9.5 acres of tall, wet eucalypt forest on Melukerdee land in far south Tasmania.
​
Since 2010 a personal project has been to survey, identify and learn about the unique macrofungi that I share this forest with.
​
Each year brings old friends and new discoveries!
​
PROJECTS
We believe that education is the key to creating a more sustainable future.
​
We have worked with a variety of organisations helping to help raise awareness around the importance of Australian fungi.
​
We do this in different ways including: educational talks & workshops, digitisation of fungi for research, multimedia, science writing and raising funds for Australian fungi research.
