In doing a bunch of research seems actinomycete populations in soil are larger than fungi but less than bacteria. They also seem to be a microbe that has characteristics of both bacteria and fungi.
Anybody hip to what these things are really all about? I would assume nothing too far away from bacteria cause some refer to them as actinobacteria but never hear or read people talking about them. One guy told me that when you turn an older compost pile it's not the fungi you are seeing, the threadlike forms, but actinomycetes and that they are responsible for the smell of soil.
Thx
