Absolutely FANTASTIC NEWS! The Hunter Region Botanic Gardens have been given a grant to collate a fungal library for the Hunter region. Congratulations!

The Hunter Region Botanic Gardens is set to benefit from almost $150,000 to build a verified fungal reference library.

It’s just one of seven projects to receive funding from the NSW Environmental Trust Research Grants Program.

Check out these amazing people doing Ghost mushroom tours in Newcastle Glenrock Ghost Fungus Tours

Update: Friday morning 29 May

Look at this lovely photo I captured last night with my son before the rain set in! It’s a 5-second exposure on my new phone, keeping as still as possible.

Sorry that my social media was chaotic yesterday. A combination of not knowing what the weather would do and running tours for the first time.

I’ve set up some booking links for the next few days to make it easier.

The night time ghost fungus tours will not be bookable until I have checked that the mushrooms are still around and can still possibly glow. The heavy rain may have halted this. You can monitor if the booking goes live at: https://www.trybooking.com/DMRKB

Day-time fungi tours for autumn/winter 2026 can be booked now at: https://www.trybooking.com/DMQXY
There is currently just one slot on Monday morning 1 June but more can open up if there is interest.
