A fusion of two different spore prints from separate natural landscapes, an Ecotone. The top section captures the Heathy Woodlands in the Brisbane Ranges, while the bottom section represents the woodlands of Anglesea Heath.

For the Brisbane Ranges segment, I incorporated native indigenous botanicals such as Eucalyptus radiata subsp. radiata, Pteridium esculentum (Austral Bracken), and Geranium potentilloides. The featured mushrooms include a diverse mix of native mycorrhizal and saprophytic fungi: Cortinarius archeri, Gymnopilus allantopus, Cortinarius persplendidus, Amanita xanthocephala, Austrocortinarius australiensis, Psilocybe subaeruginosa, and Russula lenkunya.

In the Anglesea Heath section, the botanicals highlight Eucalyptus obliqua, complemented by the spore prints of Cortinarius archeri and Russula lenkunya, Austropaxillus sp, Gymnopilus sp.

This piece celebrates the beauty and biodiversity of these remarkable ecosystems
