Streptomyces lydicus kills fungi. It colonizes the root tips of plants and kills fungi by both parasitizing them and producing an antibiotic. It's target is root decay fungi, but nothing I can google on it says it has no effect on what we, the gardeners, would consider beneficial fungi. I have access to more journals at work, but since you present yourself as an expert, I thought I would ask. I've already spent a fair amount of money on other products that add beneficial fungi to the soil, and I have concerns about adding something that might kill all those pricey fungi.
*That* would be the point.
I have concerns about glomming something on that produces an antibiotic in the soil, but I'll certainly address that else web.
