I echo the sadness in the previous comments and I give a great ‘thank you’ to all involved in the running of NatureMapr. Thanks to NatureMapr I have been able to get very useful herbarium collections of some fungal species. Sometimes of species that I had not previously collected in the ACT – and on the odd occasion, a species I had never collected. Amongst the fungal sightings on NatureMapr are those where the fungus seems distinctive enough to be identified from a photo alone – but that I have not otherwise seen and couldn’t find depicted elsewhere (so they’ve remained in the “What the hell is that?” category). Such photos are simply more evidence of how much is still unknown about Australian fungi. NatureMapr has a wonderful, easy- to-follow structure and I have used it to identify, or check the identification of, various plants or invertebrates that I’ve seen on my walks.
Thank you

Not on Bursaria the local Lamprolima host plant so probably another Chryso such as Adoxia found on Acacias
Lamprolina (genus)

that's fine Alison, that is what I use for everything - I only have a macro. I am meant to be able to look at the picture outside of NM so I could blow it up more, but the computer said 'no'

@WendyEM This photo was taken at a fair distance with a macro lens. My longer lens was in my backpack.
