In the cafe space of a Ballarat hotel, west of Melbourne, more than 200 paintings of different types of fungi hang on the walls.   

It's the culmination of seven years of work for artist Rosalind Lawson, who found all of the fungi within a kilometre of her home in the bushland in Napoleons, 15 kilometres from Ballarat.
