I  have  some mixed  mycorrhizal fungi from Stamets  FungiPerfecti .
I  use on my  veggies  ,fruit trees ect .

I have  used it I on a few rooted  cactus seedlings recently .

I have no idea if this was beneficial or harmful . I did not do a control .

SO INTERNET Experts !
 Please pontificate  your opinions on this subject of mycorrhizal fungi  and cactus .

[LIBERTYNY]

 The University of CA did a study on the products themselves and found almost none contain whats listed on the label, at best most of the products contain a fraction of whats advertized

 I use myco-blast on most of my transplants, and it realy does seem to help, but I suspect it's just the kelp extract base thats helping, but thats just a quess

 I have also used it on cacti seedlings recently, but I dont hink slow growing cacti would be the best to test on due to the slow groath

 I always tend to think about how standard commerical greenhouse culture works so well and its dam near sterile . . .

I am guessing Paul Staments product has what's advertised .
I am just not sure if the culture mix I bought from his lab is  beneficial for cactus .
hummm let me look it up and post more details .

I recommend all read Dr. Staments book
 "Mycelium Running" How Mushrooms Can Help SAVE The WORLD !

Thank you LIBERTYNY

it is a great book .
 I have a three or four of his  books
his book  on general  cultivation of edible and medicinal  is huge very good.
his book on psilocybin mushrooms  is perhaps the best . Text
