 Mount Field National Park is also home to an enormous diversity of fungi.Fungi are ecologically important and megadiverse, yet their significance in underpinning the terrestrial ecology of the Park is little recognised.While the Management Plan for Mt Field National Park only mentions fungi in the context of their destructive effects ("Phytophthora cinnamomi" and "Chalara australis"), the Park has a great variety of fungi that perform beneficial ecological roles.
