Dear FUNNZ members
I am writing to advise that the FUNNZ Committee decided last week to postpone the in-person Rotorua Fungal Foray until next year. This was a difficult decision but was arrived at because of the dual issues of managing the foray under the current covid restrictions, in particular the issue of running the foray effectively if people become symptomatic during the foray, as well as wanting to ensure that the institutions supporting the foray organisers are satisfied with the level of iwi and community engagement that has taken place.
The 2022 fungal foray will be held at the Dutch Hall in Rotorua from May 16th – May 20th , with the colloquium day being at Scion.
Registration will open March 2022.

Limited places are still available for the foray on Stewart Island, taking place between April 11th – 17th 2021. Key details are:
The 2021 Fungal foray will be held at Oban, Stewart Island Rakiura, 11 to 17 April 2021. This is a replacement for the 2020 foray that was not held due to COVID-19. Those who registered for the 2020 foray will have first priority for places in 2021.
