Policies, Goals and Contact details for FungiOz

All FungiOz mushroom identifications  are Tentative

Most Australian mushrooms have not been scientifically described and  new studies  are leading to classification changes.   In particular, some mushrooms that  appear the same as European species  have been shown to differ.   For example, the  Australian parasol mushroom Macrolepiota Clelandii, has turned out to be a different species to the edible European Macrolepiota procera and Macrolepiota conradii  species, and has been misnamed even by some professional mycologists. 


Consequently, all Australian fungi identifications n this website  and in Fungioz app are tentative as they have been made by comparing  the macro features of photographed specimens with  photos and descriptions of macro features published in guide-books  and on the web.

 The edibility of Australian fungi is largely unknown. Therefore, neither this website nor FungiOzapp contains edibility information.    Even for species that maybe edible it is easy for foragers to pick a harmful Australian look-a-like,. Examples of such misidentifications  are to be found in our blog.

 Don't Remove Fungi from Public Property.  Furthermore, it is illegal to remove mushrooms from anything other than private property in Australia.   Unlike some other countries, Australia actively protects its public land even though the crucial role of fungi in  sustaining ecosystems may not be fully appreciated.


Indemnity.  For all these reasons, all responsibility for picking or consuming any fungi found within Australia lies entirely  with the users of FungiOz app or this website.   In using these resources you indemnity FungiOz and its creator against any harm that may ensue from  removing, handling or consuming any Australian mushroom.
