Myco's for European growers

amideutch · March 24, 2016

Just wanted to let you know Fungi Perfecti (www.fungi.com) will ship you MycoGrow soluble 1 oz packet for around 13 euro. Ordered mine on the 3rd of March and received it a week later.

What kinds of plants is it good for?

I've found this also, does 650 plants it says. $25

edit to add: sorry, just now put together European. This product is probably not available.

I'd be more interested in those edible gourmet mushrooms available at Fungi. However, I have read many times that mushrooms only grow with the proper flora and soil... Thus ordering spores or 'starters' do not do much.
Does anyone have experiences in growing mushrooms from packages?

Vegetables, flowers, fruit trees and other plants. I've been using this product for years to make a dip solution for my tomato seedlings which I dip the root structure in prior to plant out.

I'm glad you feel this is beneficial ami, many wave it off as unneeded. The fact that there is a product like this makes me more open to creating my own Colorado container mix knowing all the same components that professionals get, are available to me.

Looking to save money and find a blend that would be a little more water retentive in the dry western air. Simple mix, some ratio of peat, bark, perlite and inoculants.

Looks like 1 specie Glomus intraradices @ 150 viable spores per gram. On amazon they are selling 4 species of endo in two lb. bags for $38.00 + $6.00 shipping (App. $1.38 per ounce). Not sure on how many viable spores per gram though.

I use the same water that I water my plants with. The only thing I use distilled water for is my colloidal silver generator.

Thanks for reminding me of this great stuff! I will add it to my already uppotted seedlings and use it for the roots when I have to uppot the second batch. I have used it in the past years, but for a reason I don't know forgot about it this year...

Ami, I DO hope you are fine!

I have used this product and the MycoGro. The Amazon product sounds like it is cheaper but the spores are on diatomaceous earth granuals which makes the product quite heavy. They really do not say how many spores to the ounce. Myco takes just a slight dusting and Amazons uses 2 tablespoons per plant. My opinion is that the MycoGro is the better and cheaper solution.

My current one is Neudorff's Tomato & Vegetable Feed (organic), it is supposed to have myco's too. Last year I was very pleased with the taste and productivity of my plants.
Even better than horsemanure!

amideutch · March 25, 2016

Neudorff's azet Tomaten dunger is a yearly must for me also. I mix it in my aggregate for containers and in the planting hole for my beds. I use it as a compliment to the other amendments I use as well.
But Neudorff's does not have anywhere close to the variety of myco's, bacteria and disease control organisms that Myco Grow has and that why I use it in my plant out dip for my seedlings.

This seems to be a good option too with lots of different myco's:

It's by no means cheaper but at least I find it less stressful to order from within the EU. Shipping from the US can be trouble free or you are waiting for over a month or everything gets lost

I haven't tried it yet, saw it last week at the nursery and got curious, but first wanted to do some research. I think I'll try it next season on my seedlings

I have used the MycoGrow Soluble (Fungi Perfecti) for many years, it's a good value IMO and makes an easily noticeable difference in seedling health and vitality. I have read, however, that the included Trichoderma may hinder root colonization.
