Australia’s landscapes depend on fungi.

We’re only just beginning to understand the complex role fungi play in our unique landscapes. But the more we learn, the more we understand just how dependent we are on fungal diversity. We worked with Australia’s leading scientists to create a practical guide that is built for you, and for the plants, animals and soils you know and work with.

Use Fungi for Land to incorporate fungi into your land management plan, your conservation strategy, your commercial timber operation, your agricultural business or even your home garden.

Learn how Australian fungi:

  • Partner with Australian plants
  • Increase plants’ drought tolerance
  • Recycle nutrients and store carbon
  • Build healthier soils
  • Are food for many animals
  • And much, much more.

About the Author

Dr Sapphire McMullan-Fisher and Roz Hart are dedicated ecologists who have been teaching and writing on the importance of fungi in restoring and conserving Australian ecosystems for decades. The vast, interconnected world of fungi is a new frontier in scientific discovery. Fungi have been historically unconsidered in crucial environmental practices like land management, sustainable farming and carbon capture. Sapphire and Roz created Fungi for Land as a user-friendly guide to teach Australians how they can use fungi to help protect our soil and water, feed our native flora and fauna and improve our food, medicines and even packaging.
