About the event
The iNaturalist Fungi Workshop will be presented by Sofia Zvolanek
Sofia is one of Australia’s most passionate and accomplished fungi experts and a leading contributor on iNaturalist. With around 80,000 verified fungus identifications to her name, she is currently Australia’s top fungal identifier on iNaturalist, helping naturalists of all levels improve their observations and deepen their understanding of fungal diversity.
Sofia grew up exploring bushland around Sydney and developed a lifelong fascination with nature — especially fungi — through field observation and hands-on learning. Her enthusiasm for fungal taxonomy and ecology led her to co-author Fungi of the Hills & Gullies, a beautifully curated guide to the fungi of Berowra Valley.
In her workshops and guided walks, Sofia combines expert identification knowledge with a friendly, accessible approach, encouraging participants to build confidence in using iNaturalist and to explore the hidden world of fungi with curiosity and care.
