Fungi play an integral role in ecosystems, yet little is known about them. Fungimap is a national non-profit organisation committed to the conservation of Australia's macrofungi. Our seventh biennial conference is being held in Rawson, Victoria, in May 2013.

Fungimap 7 is suitable for people with all levels of knowledge about fungi - from the absolute beginner to the mycologist. Fungimap 7 includes one day of talks, two days of forays and workshops, and a full day foray to Tarra-Bulga national park. Workshops range from understanding, identifying and surveying fungi and making records, photos, and collections of them, as well as leading fungal activities and assessing them for threatened species status. Talks cover a range of topics, including managing bushland for fungi, mushroom classification, fungi's relationships with orchids and mammals, and Fungimap's work. A small number of student scholarships will be made available.
