2018 State of the World’s Fungi

Kew Gardens has released their 2018 “State of the World’s Fungi” report:

The facts and figures contained in the pages of the 2018 State of the World’s Fungi report and this website will probably come as a total revelation to many people.

It is clear that Fungi should definitely be viewed on a par with the plant and animal Kingdoms and that we have only just started to scratch the surface of knowledge of this incredible and diverse group of organisms. What also becomes apparent is that when looking for nature-based solutions to some of our most critical global challenges, fungi could provide many of the answers.
