Fungi for Land: A practical guide for land managers, is a practical guide to fungi, helping us understand the complex role they play in our unique Australian landscapes and how we can treat them better and incorporate them into the land we as individuals manage, from backyards to large landscapes. The book serves as a practical roadmap for integrating fungi into environmental conservation, farming, timber operations, and home gardens. The book translates years of ecological research into actionable strategies, detailing how native fungi build healthy soils, recycle nutrients, store carbon, and support Australian plant and animal species.
