Perth Urban Bushland Fungi

Description

Perth Urban Bushland Fungi (PUBF) is a collaborative project begun in 2004 between the Urban Bushland Council and the Western Australian Naturalists' Club in conjunction with the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM), Western Australian Herbarium and with financial support from Lotterywest.

Over the past 10 years, many well attended fungi forays and workshops have been held in urban bushlands of Perth Western Australia. These events have highlighted growing requests by community and professional land managers to address the low level of awareness about fungi and their general exclusion from bushland management.

PUBF addresses this gap and aims to improve awareness and knowledge so that fungi become an integral part of long-term urban bushland management. The project and groups comprising the Management team are listed below.
