Yea I see it on Pro-Mix and cant help but think its just a sales gimmick. People think they're buying a fungal network or something IDK. We have no idea how much they add, I'm assuming its just some spores they toss in there. We dont know how old our bale of pro mix is and we dont know how long the spores will stay alive. On top of that it takes time for this stuff to grow so we dont know how effective its going to be on an annual vegetable garden or containers outside. Now you tell me plants have strain specific relationships with mycorrhizae and I'm probably gonna bet having it added to promix has no added benefit in my situation outdoors where theres probably more already living in the soil.

I have a lot of left over mycelium blocks from when I grow mushrooms, if I toss them in the soil and break it up nicely will that actually speed up the mycelium network with forming in the soil bed? Thanks :) I love trying new things, and I have seen a improvement when I do this in my plant. But you seem to understand the science. So I figured ide ask why, if that is why actually lol. Surely it can’t just be the added nutrients from the block thats helping all of my plants. It has to be what your talking about

Isn't the perennial garden wonderful? Especially when the conditions are at prime levels. The foliage looks greener and the blooms extra vibrant, just inspiring. I have found there is a reduction in pests with increased top dressing of compost. I used to apply once per year, now it is twice . I have lilies that were constantly ravaged by the scarab beetle. I have not eliminated them totally, but their numbers have dropped dramatically over the last couple of years. Which gave me time to tend to other plants. We must change our outlook a little when it comes to composting. We get in a groove of composting as a means of waste reduction, and achieving it as fast as possible. The only way to attain those mycorrhizae are by composting fibrous residues, the woodier the better. But, yes there is a but, it is difficult to differentiate between mycorrhizae hyphae and Actinomyces . To the naked eye they look similar but one is a bacteria. I think...not so well educated, just idle, layman research .

Just Home Depot junk wood chips, but the web filament was everywhere and my trees are all fully fruiting and doing amazing and I attribute that to the biodiversity from creating that layer of bark and organic material for the fungi and microbes to feast on.

I knew a little, but had no understanding. Thank you for explaining. I use a lot of rotted manure (sheep). Always have. I have been using it too, in my pots. I have noticed that when I use manure, I do not have to fertilize those pots as much. I guess I am doing something right. Also, could you maybe comment on the use of alfalfa cubes in the garden. Some people are using them to add more phosphorus and potassium. It apparently offsets the increased amounts of nitrogen, which tends to be higher in soil, then the other two, thus better allowing plants to bloom, especially higher feeders like Dahlias and large bloom Chrysanthemums.

Some of this is just untrue. Arbuscular mycorrhizae form relationships with 300,000 species of plants. I think it would be best for the consumer to look up basic knowledge of fungi (like ectomycorrhizae or endo) and just broadly learn what plants associate with what fungi. Endomycorrhizal / arbuscular fungi would help most plants i’d bet, and the worse the soil/situation the better because without a stressful situation for the plant the mutualism might not form. Ectomycorrhizal fungi are the only fungi in these relationships that produce mushrooms (fruiting bodies).

Ok, obviously you're aware that cannabis is now legal in Canada, so my question is, what product would you use for great health of this type of plant. Basically, I am looking for a natural and human safe inoculant. I know that beneficial bacteria and myco. help the plant to prevent disease, especially molds and mildews by using a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots. But powdery mildew has been an ongoing problem, no matter how strong and healthy the plant is. What could I use as a safe inoculant and is there anything that can be added to a hydroponic system to PREVENT some of the problems, especially bad mold and mildew. Bottom line question. Is there something I can use, so I don't have to foliar spray every week and also so I don't have to EXPECT a problem with WPM. I've heard silica can help but I would really like to know if there is a way to inoculate the plant, so I don't have to worry constantly about finding those dreaded white spots and then having to spray to keep it at bay. In other words, is there any way of stopping "the deadly fuzz" before it even infects your plant? I'm asking you because you know your stuff.👍🙏🙏🙏

I could make a whole video in response to this. Soil can be kept cool using wet cardboard. Introducing new soil can be bad for the exosting microbes because it sfarts a war for nutrients. By growing certain bush typr plants that create their own microclimate you can simulate an environment for the mycelium to expanding into the soil. Another thing is mushrooms tend to eat other microbes, mushrooms, sometimes living plants, others are secondary decomposers making them perfect for post-compost. Ready for worms and fungi to move in ad finish the needed work. I also find by making your compost with charcoal small pieces down to fine dust, gives a place for nutrients, microbes, gives a place for even the spores to stay nice cool and moist like they enjoy. I do agree with the sun cooking the subterrean microbes and fungi which is why I mentioned growing bushes. Berries are a gokd idea as the fruit when it drops to the soil will begin to feed the microbes complex sugars. Has anykne watched Fantastic Fungi? That movie was amazing.. inspiring too. Im very curious about fungi, microbes, soil food web/science. Im not a doctor or scientist so please dont take any of this the wrong way. I am an amatuer soil science guy and mycophile as well at heart. I find nature fascinating and would love to one day own a permaculture farm where I can practice all the different "natural" farming methods. Lol I quote that because natural means untampered by humans which is an irony as I want ro emulate a natural healthy forest of plants, fungi and animal biodiversity.

Very easily with biological control. Biological control is actually a lot more effective as well. So I like to use predatory nematodes (you can’t see them) I did a video on these suckers actually kzitem.info/news/bejne/u6mcrKhmrpadmHY

I do start corn in cells and pot up before planting in containers. I have been lucky, I guess. I have to grow them in a greenhouse. I live in Alaska.

Hello I'm 70 and have been gardening conventionally my whole life. I enjoy trying new things. I'm going to dedicate part of my garden to a no till area. Does the micorrhiza depend on a living root to live year round? I'm going to put down a 4-6" layer of wood chips and plant through it. As the bottom of the wood chips rot it will will feed the soil. Will this continuous rotting process keep the micorrhizea alive, or do I need to plant a winter crop to provide a living root? I live in zone 7b, the piedmont area of north carolina. thanks ahead. Woody

No dig it awesome and agree. The method I want to explore is where we just layer up the soil with carbon then nitrogen and to it in thick layers to create new soil underfoot.

Would using a systemic granular kill the fungi? Would using a reptile heating pad under seedings kill fungi? Thanks

Love this. A neighbour insists on loading a bale of peat moss each spring to till it in...only to gripe and complain all summer long about her crappy soil. I am at the point of just smiling at her.

In a no till garden, does pulling up weeds also disturb the fungi too much to be good in the same way twice turning the soil or tilling does? I have a lot of creeping Charlie... Can't leave that there!

That would be very nice. I used to do that in the field but it’s so hard to know how much root mass you were able to capture when you’re pulling it out. So we used to test upper biomass weight and concentration

On the flip side, what kills too much fungi? I get sick gardening and the previous owner of this house had mulch about a foot thick that had all kinds of minds growing. I had to have it removed and start over.

In zone 9a, what would be a good process to encourage growth amongst the whole garden? You said add manure, would a manure layer with mulch on top be beneficial? Thanks for any help. Great info also.
@GardeningInCanada

Any sort of organic material would work well not exclusively manure and then a mulch will as well. In a warmer environment such as yours you will want to make sure you keep the soil moisture up so regular watering and mulch will make a huge difference.

A question on the beginning when you mention crop rotation. Wouldn’t it be good to have a strain dominate an area if you aren’t using crop rotation? Like if I’m only growing tomatoes in this spot then why not keep growing tomatoes there every year wouldnt it be the perfect environment with the perfect strains? How is that bad?
