FUNGI FRIDAY ... was an opportunity to celebrate the amazing contribution fungi make to our lives and the planet.

  Our students were invited to bring and to look at a few of the one and a half million species of fungi in our world


.
Because fungi have the potential to unlock biological material and convert it into something else, they are being used in a multitude of ways e.g.for  medicine, food, textiles, fibre, packaging material and even biofuel.  NZ fungi are prominent in the research into the  development of new antibiotics to replace those which are bacteria resistant.
