Hey guys,
Has anyone used a mycorrhiza product to boost mycorrhiza?
I mostly never see the white stuff in my pots i'm wondering if i could help the plant creating it by putting some in to help the tree produce more and to be healthy.
I have never seen it in the park at the roots of radiatas.
MycoGold is the one i might try and add it to my soil mix, would other plants enjoy this added feature?
Please advise.
Simon

Re: mycorrhiza products
It just turns up in the pots of pines here. I don't transfer it, it just gets there.
Fungi have very fine spores that travel through air and land almost everywhere. The ones that land in suitable places start to grow.
If you don't already have mycorrhiza it cold be that conditions are not suitable. No amount of additions will grow something if conditions are not suitable.
Mycorrhza is not always visible. When it is wet it becomes translucent and hard to see.
Many species are supposed to form relationships with fungi. Some fungi are generalists and will go with whoever offers a place to stay. Some trees seem able to accept a number of different fungi. Some are very specific species to species relationships.
Most of the commercial preparations have a range of fungi species so could be useful to more than just pines. the label may have more details?
