Mycorrhizal technology, say 鈥榥o鈥?to soil pollutants


Looks can surely be deceptive. For, who could say by looking at this microscopic fungus that it is potent enough to revive a wasteland and turn it into 鈥?take your pick 鈥?a lush, flowering garden, a fruit orchard or even a verdant field? Yet, on the other hand, seeing is believing. As this fungus fuses life into earth, sick soil turns fertile and returns to health that was long lost to generous doses of heavy chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Just follow Chili Pepper and Mike and you will do just fine with symbiotic relationships between fungus and root health.


I have another one, I an a commercial flower producer, I use a live fungus sprayed like a pesticide to combat greenhouse insects.


The landscapers have fungus also that combat mostly caterpillars, but might handle other insects.
Two really great products are Mycostop, Streptomyces fungus, and Gliogard, derived from Gliocladium fungus. Both these products are used to control some root rotting organisms that cause damping off. Damping off is a major problem in some soil environments causing minimal problems in most plantings everywhere and also the cause of some serious crop failures. There are others fungal products available and the two links below will give you some great info and a number of choices.
magic mushrooms
try google
nutritional yeast?
