Retired university lecturer Mary Mahoney with a copy of her book, “A Snapshot Of Bunya Mountains Fungi”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 23, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Decades of work have culminated in a unique publication documenting an often overlooked part of the Bunya Mountains’ landscape … fungi.<\/p>\n

Retired university lecturer Mary Mahoney has joined together with keen photographer Ken Chapman to document more than 200 fungi found on the mountains.<\/p>\n

Ken has been photographing nature for more than 50 years – including 40 years capturing the colourful and unique fungi of the Bunyas.<\/p>\n

Mary has spent decades working in education, both in schools and universities, with a particular focus on the world of science.<\/p>\n

Their 258-page book, “A Snapshot Of Bunya Mountains Fungi”, includes more than 500 photographs of the various fungi, including some examples that are yet to be scientifically described.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most have been photographed on private properties or in Russell Park.<\/p>\n

Mary and her husband live at Buderim while Ken and his wife live at Gympie, but both couples also have homes on the Bunyas.<\/p>\n

The friends met in the 1990s when Ken put on a slide night on the mountains which piqued Mary’s interest in fungi.<\/p>\n

“It was the beginning of a passionate interest in this strange new world!” she said.<\/p>\n

Mary told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> that gathering together the information to accompany Ken’s photos, and preparing the negatives, took almost six years.<\/p>\n

As well as providing a database of Bunya Mountains fungi, the book also includes information about the photographic techniques and settings used to capture the photos.<\/p>\n

The book has a limited print run of just 250.<\/p>\n

Copies can be purchased from the Bunya Mountains Accommodation Office, the Bunya Mountains General Store and the Dalby Visitor Information Centre.<\/p>\n

They can also be purchased directly from Mary. For more information, contact her by email<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
