Among all the plants that co-exist within Ōtari, there’s one ‘kingdom’ different from all the rest. Join Geoff for an introduction to the enormous fungi kingdom.

Fungal kingdom

This video introduces the wonderful world of fungi. There are more fungal species than there are plant species, and they have a range of roles, both positive and negative. Fungi are important recyclers of nutrients in the forest and help plants take up minerals from the soil.

This walk is part of the Autumn guided walk series brought to you by the Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush Trust.

Location: Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush, 160 Wilton Road, Wilton, Wellington.
