anyone got experience with mycorrhizae?
    #7934838 - 01/26/08 12:39 PM (16 years, 6 days ago)

I'm not sure if this should go here or one of the mycology threads. move if needed

"The term mycorrhizae comes from the Latin words myco, meaning fungus, and rhiza, meaning root. Mycorrhizae fungi are fungi that have developed a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the root systems of living plants, from garden vegetables all the way up to Old Growth trees. Networks of mycorrhizae filaments envelop the seedling`s root structure, greatly extending and enhancing (by a factor of several hundred to several thousand times ) the growing plant`s water- and nutrient- garthering abilities and protecting the plant from disease."

anyone got any experience with this fungus? does it do any good?

currently i'm studying soil. more specifically, ecological preservation of planted areas.

what i can tell you about this kinds of fungus that form 'relationships' with plants roots, is that they already exist in almost every kind of soil. if yours doesn't, then there's something wrong with the biostructure of it.

that means:soil is always decomposing organic matter, this is done with the aid of microorganisms such as fungus and bacteria. so you have to treat it by putting organic matter in the soil, instead of inoculating it with the spores, get it? the spores will appear sooner or later, brought by wind or insects or animals.

best thing you can do is cover the soil with dead organic matter and let it decompose naturally.(you don't want to even touch it, just cover the soil.)

but that's of course a study for large areas, kinda hard to apply to potted plants.

Mycelium Running is a good book to learn more about mycorrhizae and different compatibilities. What context are you asking this question in? I know some soils are sold with mycorrhizal content but don't have experience with it yet (have a bag of light warrior sitting around though). In the spring I'd like to experiment with outdoor patches of fungi amongst veggies.

As stated above, mycorrhizal relationships are found in soil nearly everywhere in nature, and go back as far as life itself. In fact, one theory is that this type of relationship helped plants adapt from water to land.

If you're growing in a sterile medium, then deliberate injection of spores might be necessary, but otherwise I'd get fresh air from outside the grow area to the plants and, like brshroomer said, let nature take its course.
