Mushroom season is upon us but how do you know what to look for?
Ecologist Ruben Mita has written a guide to all of the typical mushrooms you will find in various parts of the country.
The guide includes edible favourites like porcini, the good old white field mushroom - but also the psychedelics and the poisonous.
There are also the weird ones - the stinkhorns like a red claw coming out of the ground - and the bird's nest fungi.
Ruben has degrees in ecology, English and music from Victoria University.
