I just noticed there are few to no threads regarding Mycorrhizae so I have decided to start a thread to talk about this organism in detail.
Mycorrhizae is a type of fungi that shares a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with roughly 95% of plant species on earth.
Mycorrhizae, as with other fungi decompose matter in the soil around the roots of the host plant. This relationship is mutually beneficial. The fungi gets plant sugars that it itself cannot produce and in return the fungi feeds the plant extra nitrogen and phosphorus from its decomposition efforts.
These fungi can also help ward off root parasites though mixing soil with sevindust will stop fungus gnats from preying on your plant and its fungi buddy.
The key point I am driving at here is that indoor plants will not have this Mycorrhizae to assist the plants and believe drastic gains in yield and potency can be had from catering to this curious fungi.
