From the Editors
The 2011 FNCV Biodiversity Symposium, held on 19/20 November, focused on forests. In the
International YearofForests,thesubjectwas a fittingone. Inthisissue, theEditors arepleasedto
publishsomeofthepaperspresented atthatevent,byMoore,FlarleyandMueck.
The papers making up the remainder ofthis issue ofThe Victorian Naturalist do not form any
unityoftheme, area,orindeed subjectmatter. Theydo,however, servetoremind us thatthefield
ofnatural historyencompasses a broad spectrum ofinterests and activities. Because ofthiswide
tolerance, articles focusing on fungi, historical botany and phytoplankton can appear together
in the pages ofthisjournal. It is a feature that, as one reader has remarked, makes The Victorian
Naturalist‘ofimmensevalue’. Afurthervaluableaspect ofthis particular issue is the publication
—
ofa couple of‘firsts’ the first Australian record ofa fungus species, and a first collection ofa
DinoflagellatebloomfromtheicesurfaceofanAustralianlake.
