The potoroids are, like nearly all diprotodonts, herbivorous. However, while they take a wide variety of vegetable foods, most have a particular taste for the fruiting bodies of fungi, and often depend on fungi to see them through periods when there is little else to eat in the dry Australian bush.

Divisions Chytridiomycota Zygomycota Ascomycota Basidiomycota The Fungi (singular: fungus) are a large group of organisms ranked as a kingdom within the Domain Eukaryota. ... Arid, largely treeless areas aside, most Australian bushland is sclerophyll forest. ...

There are five species of bettong: including the Northern Bettong (Bettongia tropica) and the Tasmanian Bettong (Bettongia gaimadi). Bettongs were endangered because settlers took much of their habitat and their foxes also killed many of them. At one time, both species lived all over Australia. But today, the Tasmanian Bettong lives only in the eastern half of Tasmania, and the Northern Bettong lives only in three isolated populations in northern Queensland.
