Abstract

Tea-tree fingers (Hypocreopsis amplectens) is one of the few fungi listed under conservation legislation in Australia. It was formally listed under the Victorian Flora & Fauna Guarantee Act in 2004, while still undescribed. In recent years, Tea-tree fingers has been reported infrequently. In 2016, funding from the Threatened Species Protection Initiative -Community Volunteer Action Grants program of the Victorian Government enabled Fungimap to develop survey protocols for rare fungi and carry out surveys specifically for Tea-tree fingers.
