Irie vibrations to all
Having some fun with a mother plant I've had for around 2 years in coco so I thought I'd share with my fellow man. I inoculated this plant around a year ago with mycorrhizal fungi spores which was a mix of endomycorrhizal fungi containing the following varieties - Glomus intraradices, Glomus mosseae, Glomus aggregatum and Glomus etunicatum. I was certain the fungi had cultured well in the pot as this plant is pretty much indestructible and has dealt with a whole manner of abuse, from under/over feed/watering, severe light stress, temp fluctuations and brutal cut-backs. She always bounces back healthy as ever. Anyway, a year on and the mycelium has started to fruit, most likely due to a temperature rise in veg which has remained constant for some time. I've been casing with more coco and moistening to encourage growth the last day or two and they've most definitely appreciated the extra attention. Quite a pleasure to observe...
Before casing
After casing
Either this or I've got it horribly wrong and my whole garden is about to be infected with a killer spores. Can anyone tell me more about his mushroom? It would be an added bonus if I could put it to use in some way, maybe collect more spores to inoculated other plants?
Peace all
