Should our successor Committee wish to examine the Government’s approach to fungal research, we recommend it considers: • How the Government and UK Research and Innovation can support research into the antifungal resistance in the environment, animals, and humans, to increase the evidence base; • How the Government and its agencies can support fundamental and applied fungi research in the UK. Additionally, the successor Committee could look at the provisions of funding for long-term agricultural field trials; • How the Government and its agencies should consider ways in which to better communicate the science of fungi and their potential in tackling grand challenges facing society; • The possibility of widening the scope of the Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023 to include fungi; and • How the Government and its agencies could support the development of a UK ‘Red List of Threatened Fungal Species’ to aid in the conservation of threatened UK fungal species.
