production of mycorrhizal spores, for plants.

Hey everyone,
Anyone know how they produce mycorrhizal spores the ones used for growing giant pumpkins and the like. assume most products for growing are spores and not hyphae etc for there CFUs
or perhaps a combo of the 2? i am guessing grow rye in vermiculite that are inoculated and perhaps dried out once gorwn to initiate sporilation?
Also some state "waste product from forestry industry" and is the dark sweet smelling soil innoculant but i cant figure out what it is. fermented or cultured saw dust?? perhaps allows them to grow mycorrhizal fungi in a non living substrate?
love to hear some insight and/or educated guesses that would be possibility!

Any compost that hasn't been heat treated has spores from the environment. You literally have to do nothing this is something that's happens automatically. A lot of plants NEED these symbiotic relationships anyway. Any healthy compost is what you want. People chop up old substrates or even mushrooms they find. Granted spent subs make great compost it's not really necessary to get the process started. Fungi are ubiquitous in the air and all soil.

it has been shown that increased amounts are valuable aswell as different strains. aswell as alot of compost u buy is pasturized or if using peat based media or coco..anyway
basically just wondering how they produce it commercially, i had this in advanced as would of got seen more but got moved.

Advanced has like 1/10th the views and by the same people that look here too 
Even if you have a topic that fits there it's better to post it here so it actually gets seen

thanks!
however most symbiots need a host ie instead of rice, could sprout grasses inoculated with rhizals and simply dry out to allow to hopefully create spores.
think the sugar kills off bacteria rather then makes it sporalate in the IMO procedure but maybe a little of both.
