2 David Moore British Mycological Society © 2006 All rights acknowledged All rights reserved Dave has a quick shower, sharing his bathroom with a few fungi. Fungi are all around us wherever we live, work or play.

3 David Moore British Mycological Society © 2006 All rights acknowledged All rights reserved We use fungal enzymes as ‘fabric conditioners’ to restore fabrics in the wash. The enzyme removes broken fibre ends and makes the fabric ‘look like new’.

4 David Moore British Mycological Society © 2006 All rights acknowledged All rights reserved Do you like stone-washed denim? Stone washing used to mean washing with small stones to ‘distress’ the fabric; but no more. Now fungal enzyme treatment randomly breaks cotton fibres giving the fashionable bleached look.

5 David Moore British Mycological Society © 2006 All rights acknowledged All rights reserved At least 95% of plants have mycorrhizas associated with their roots. More than 6000 fungi are capable of forming mycorrhizas.

6 David Moore British Mycological Society © 2006 All rights acknowledged All rights reserved Cows depend on fungi in the gut to digest the grass they eat.

7 David Moore British Mycological Society © 2006 All rights acknowledged All rights reserved Fungal enzymes called pectinases increase juice yields by 30% to 75%.
