The Ectomycorrhizae are useless for vegetable growing, but they are included in many blends for people who use them on compatible trees. They are also the least expensive of the mycorrhizae because the spores are the easiest to harvest since their fruiting bodies are mushrooms.
The Glomas species are the Endomycorrhizae. Rooters is a granular and has a spore count of 2.46 propagules/gram of each of the 3 species included. MYKOS in comparison is also a granular but a single species (Glomus intraradices) at 80 spores per gram. Other products may also have a higher spore count and even more species and are naturally more expensive on a cost/oz basis and most times contain beneficial bacteria and Trichoderma fungi.

12,510 propagules/gram – Pisolithus tinctorius
317 propagules/gram – Rhizopogon rubescens
