Roz Hart – Fungi – and the use of fungi in conservation and revegetation

11 May, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm

$3

Roz is an Ecologist, President of the Australia wide Fungi group : Fungimap Inc. and an active member of the Western Australian Naturalists’ Club who has organised many fungi talks, workshops and fungi excursions in WA over the last 25 years. She worked as the Community Education officer with Mycologist Dr Neale Bougher on the Perth Urban Bushland Fungi project in WA which ran from 2004-2011. This project raised awareness of the importance of fungi in Urban Bushlands, opening many people’s eyes to the wonders of fungi.

Roz and mycologist Sapphire McMullan-Fisher are currently writing a much needed guide: Fungi4Land, a guide to the use of fungi in revegetation  for Australian land managers.

Roz studied Microbiology (and Biochemistry) at UWA and has a Masters Degree in Microbiology from UWA.

Roz currently enjoys being a volunteer Guide at Kings Park, where she encourages and educates other guides and the public about the important roles that fungi play in the bushland to sustain healthy ecosystems. In winter, Perth’s fungi season, Roz can be found leading others into many different bushlands to see some of the fungi species common in the Perth region.
