Fog Fungi with Sapphire McMullan-Fisher (online)

Dr Sapphire McMullan-Fisher is an ecologist who has a special interest in conservation of biodiversity, particularly the macrofungi and mosses. She has lived in Australia, New Zealand and Africa and is interested in these and similar landscapes around the world. She most enjoys spending time in bushland and working with community groups to help them understand the importance of fungi in maintaining health.

Fog gungi can occur where fine leaved plants capture fogs and bryophytes particularly mosses are abundant to hold moist microclimate. So also includes frosts, mists, dews & jerries.

Main ‘Fog’ Habitats:

• Coastal
• Rivers & streams
• Waterfalls

But also topographic high points like hilltops, rocky outcrops, escarpments and even mountains.
