About the event
Join Michael Priest, President of Fungimap, Australia’s national fungi mapping and conservation organisation, for an inspiring and informative interview on-site at Tura Beach Garden Centre with ABC South East Radio’s Alice Ansara & Brent Whiter.
Michael will introduce you to the fascinating world of Fungimap — a citizen science initiative dedicated to recording and understanding Australia’s incredible fungal diversity.
