About Far South Fungi

Since finishing a degree in Environmental Science, Heather Elson has developed skills as an environmental educator, working to raise awareness of fungi through writing media articles, guest speaking, and organising local events with the help of obliguing mycologists. Heather is also an admin for the TASFungi Facebook group and website since 2014, and Huon Valley Fungi Club on Facebook where events are promoted.

An interest in environmental science, education, photography and fungi, has led to working for natural history publishers, government archives, STEM education providers and herbariums. She hopes to use Far South Fungi as a way to continue to raise awareness about fungi to those who are interested!
