Key points about native fungi in
 Australia's temperate woodlands

 

1. Diversity of fungi in the woodland regions rivals that of the wetter forest regions of Australia.

2. A majority of Australian woodland fungi are yet to be discovered or named.

3. Mycorrhizal fungi associate with many plants, e.g. Eucalyptus, Acacia, Allocasuarina, Gastrolobium

4. High quality remnant native vegetation has a large diversity of native fungi. 

5. Poor quality native vegetation has relatively few native fungi.

6. Virtually no native larger fungi occur in cleared crop lands.

7. Revegetated farmland has few native fungi.

8. Native fungi take a very long time, if they ever do, to self-establish in revegetation on farmland.
