Rainforest Fungi
The Wet Tropics rainforest is a paradise for fungi enthusiasts. The warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for an extraordinary diversity of mushrooms and other fungi throughout the year.
Fascinating Varieties
From bioluminescent ghost mushrooms that glow in the dark to vibrant coral fungi and delicate bracket fungi on fallen logs, our rainforest hosts hundreds of species waiting to be discovered.
Best Time to Explore
While fungi can be found year-round, the wet season (December to April) brings an explosion of fungal diversity. After rain, the forest floor comes alive with colourful mushrooms of all shapes and sizes.
