Murrumbidgee Landcare addresses mycology knowledge gap and fosters soil health and ecosystem resilience across the region.
Relative to plants and animals, the diversity and significance of fungi is little known. Fungi are frequently referred to as the “Forgotten Kingdom”, yet they are vital in creating and stabilising soils, nourishing and interconnecting plants, recycling nutrients, retaining and filtering water, restoring environmental damage and essentially underpinning ecosystem health and resilience. Fungi’s often underestimated importance and widespread lack of awareness hampers thorough ecological assessments and effective conservation efforts.
