This Local Fungi Guide is brought to you by Sandy Point community volunteers, and all photographs have been taken in and around Sandy Point. Every effort is made to accurately identify local fungi, and provide links to species information at iNaturalist and the Atlas of Living Australia.
Disclaimer: Many wild fungi are poisonous. The Sandy Point Community Group Inc does NOT recommend human consumption. For all enquiries about fungi poisoning, contact the Poisons Information Centre (13 1126).
