Introduction
Welcome to the Auckland Fungus Group, this web site has been set up to help bring together the small group of amateur fungi enthusiasts in the Auckland region who have an interest in both our native fungi and photography. Its also hoped to encourage others to take an interest in our native fungi though not necessarily as photographic subject and assist with their identification and conservation.
Forays are presently been held twice a month in different locations throughout the wetter parts of the year, autumn through to spring regardless of weather. If getting wet or splashing around ini the mud is not you thing then find another interest :)
