Citizen science

Fungimap maintains the National Australian Fungimap Database (NAFD) containing over 100,000 records and 6,500 images of fungi from over 700 contributors nationwide. This valuable resource is used for research, conservation, and policy purposes and has been provided to the Australian National Heritage Assessment Tool (ANHAT), state and Commonwealth environment agencies, and the Atlas of Living Australia. Anyone can contribute fungi records to Fungimap; submitting a fungi record often follows the below criteria:

• Species name

• Location: using Lat/Long or GPS and a text description

• Date seen

• Photographic details: file name of the relevant photo and the permission you would like to grant to Fungimap in relation to the image
