I think He is cautioning you from using a mycorrhizal innoculent that contains 100x trichoderma than, say, glomus intraradices. The trichoderma will take off and start eating other fungi as soon as it's in moist soil unlike the mycorrhizae which needs plant roots to live on. It's possible that the trichoderma is just going to eat the mycorhizzal fungi before it ever begins to take off.
What about reusing soil? If trichoderma is not root dependent, I would have concerns. I see it's listed as a fungicide.
Perhaps we'll be lucky enough to get an update..
Well it looks that there are diferent kinds of trichoderma...

What is true from my experience is that there are many products sold as beneficial mycorrhizal fungi to use with plants that don´t work at all.
The last product I bought ( canna related, made in spain) ended up on the compost pile.

I wondered when seeing what appeared to be "mycorrhizae" on my cabbage. It wasn't supposed to happen. Perhaps it didn't.
It was my understanding that there were no known associations with brassicas or maryjane. Figured I should Google it before speaking out my ass though. Good I did.
I'd forgotten about Microbeman's (microcosmicgod) post.
I'm just not fixated on mycorrhizae. I just strive for a good fungal soil. I think that very well may be first and foremost in our case. It provides the structure.
Woody compost from oak leaves should hold up well.
Google "sudden oak death (SOD)". Check locally to see if it is a problem. I don't think it is for MJ, but other plantings may be infected and from what I've read you don't want to spread it.

Interesting that SOD, I have never seen that around here.
What you see a lot is powdery mildew wich is endemic in oaks aroun here. The pic was taken 25th August last year ( summer).
The small one is an acorn that I was able to germinate indoors (it was half open and the root popping out).
As said before the world of mushroom is really amazing.
Let´s say yeast; it belongs to the kingdom of funghi.
And there are 1500 different yeasts.......

Heres a pic of fungi I found in some decomposed grape pressings. I noticed that the compost was very loose except these very round balls that held together. After collecting bag full and breaking them open this is what I found...adding this to my veggie compost to see what happens

Hi Harry, Paul Stamets knows his shit. I have a question for you. I use compost, worm castings and oatmeal and it gives me mycelium is this the type of mycelium I am looking for my girls, or is this some random fungi. Hope you understand me.

Harry was banned in 2015 so he won't be answering. lol
Any mycelium is good, and in fact needed for your plants. You can buy it, or make your own. Easy as pie too.

This is local to your area which is a bonus.
