Mycorrhiza
I Know this thread has been dead for awhile, but i would like to pass on something i learned in class this week about mycorrhiza fungi. First off if your grow isnt 120% organic its just a waste of money to try and use the fungi. Any ferts that use salts will kill the fungi in a hurry. The fungi also can increase the surface area for the roots up 200%. But this is only really helpful if the roots arent already taking up all the space in the pots. Also the fungi have the ability to inorganic or inaccessable nutes, and convert them to the plant. Last but not least fungi breathe O2 and give off CO2. Kinda nifty I thought, and very symbotic. Sooooo in closing grow your plants in larger pots or outside with mycorrhiza, you will have to feed and water your plant alot less.
Heres a site that specialize in all sorts of fungi. Fungi Perfecti®: gourmet and medicinal mushrooms.
