Micorrhizea basically colonize the root zone and help the plant take up water and nutrients by helping expanding the surface area for roots, therefore making healthier, more vigerous plants. They also help the plant defend itself from insect, fungal, and bacterial attacks by producing auxins, enzymes, vitimans, amino acids, and antibiotics. They are available at your local garden supply store in gels, tablets, and powders. And remember, in organics, feed your soil not your plant.
I treat my soil with neem oil, and usually the next day or so a mild layer of fungi grows on the surface of the soil. It doesn't seem to harm my plants and I don't really mind since it clears up by itself after a couple days. I assume that the fungi is digesting the soapy water/neem oil mix , so would this be considered a type of mycorrhizea? Are there specific species of fungi that contribute to mycorrhizea, or just fungi in general?
mycorrhizea you know i was just thinkg about that, and i was think about stepping it up a notch by doing some research on the possiblities of useing the mycelium from a psilocybe cubensis culture. for instance taking a rice cake and using the pot the plant is in as a alternate form of casing, then when the mycelium mature and as karyogamy takes place and begins to produce the sporangium(mushrooms) due to the sexual propagation the aerobic respiration should increase also slightly which will uptake the oxygen put of by the plants as waste and in it self produce c02 as waste just as we do and possibly giving the plant a little more sufficient carbondioxide which will in turn lead to produce higher levels RUBP carboxalase and produce even more pyruvate which will intern be used to make the simple sugars for the plant like glucose, sucrose, and starch. The higher the RUBP concentration the more Co2 the plant can uptake till it reaches its capacity and will result in higher rates of photosynthesis. the only problem i can really think of is light which we can control and the possibility of the mycelium becoming contaminated after being cased in the soil. which doesn't seem too likely if you use good sterile soil, but this are just my proposals, do you guys think that it is at all possible? I think there is a good chance it could go either way, but hey if it goes and it should text book wise you know hey then you just got two different things producing at the same time through this symbiotic relationship.
