Fungi Workshop

In this highly interactive introductory workshop you'll get to experience a range of fungi from the local region and learn anout their fascinating ecology, life histories and cultural significance. There will also be discussion about fungi in land restoration and conservation.

Although little known, the roots of almost every plant in the Australian landscape are intimately entwined with fungi. These clandestine relationships extend beyond trees to include every orchid and most shrubs and grasses. Symbioses are the secret to success in our highly variable climate and nutrient-deficient soils.
