FUNNZ organises an annual national fungal foray where we visit a different part of the country each year for about a week, normally this week is in autumn at the height of the mushroom season. During this week we foray in beech forests and other areas where fungi might be found. At the links below you can see more detail about our past forays, some of this data was made available though a TFBIS funded project. This archive holds photos and documents that were collected over 22 years by Don and Gwen Horne, Marie and Lawre Taylor, and Ross Beever. The fungal foray is the most exciting activity of FUNNZ and it is highly recommend for new members.
