Fungi have no chlorophyll and obtain their nutrients from living plants and animals, or dead trees, plants and animals. The parts of fungi that we see are called fruiting bodies which grow in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, ranging from vibrant to neutral tones. They are ...composed of densely compacted filaments and all produce spores that are spread by the wind or insects.
New Zealand has thousands of fungi species. Many are undescribed with only approximately 6,500 having been reported. Some are exotics that have been brought to New Zealand by humans.
Not all fungi grow in our native forests, some grow on sand near the beach, in pine forests and in our gardens.

Te Wahap is the second book in this comprehensive, enjoyable and easily understandable self-tuition course for Maori language. Te Rere o te Reo offers an up-to-date bilingual approach to mastering te reo Mori, designed for learners of all backgrounds in todays world. As notable M...ori language advocate Piripi Walker says in his foreword: Te Wahap, like Te Hikuwai before it, provides all the steps you need for mastery of the first stages of speaking and writing idiomatic Mori. It has been located within real-life activities of contemporary people, scenarios which imagine you using Mori, in Mori-speaking networks, in modern settings. The books offer a reference text, workbook and audio resource all in one. They are structured in units, each opening with a dialogue and followed by explanations of words, expressions and language patterns. Exercises and activities with space for your answers reinforce key points of learning at every step. In the classroom Te Rere o te Reo (the flow of language) is a foundation course in three levels: Te Hikuwai (the stream) Te Wahap (the river mouth) Te Moana Waiwai (the open sea). Teachers will find that the courses design for self-tuition enhances its classroom use with secondary students, as well as adult learners, launching into Mori language. Te Wahap along with Te Hikuwai form at least two-thirds of a three-year basic course. The course overall will offer teachers and students all the resources they need for students to achieve NCEA Level 1 in the language.
