We received a great question from someone who went to one of our CFLT classes this last weekend! He asked:
“Question – regarding fungi:…. I had a 1/2 (opened) bag of Organic Plus (retail bag) and found large amount of white colored strands -apparently a fungus… at the end of the strands whole formed mushrooms, with crowns…. is this stuff still useful? If not how do I keep my soil from becoming infested with mushrooms??? Thank you.”
Answer: Those white strands are a wonderful thing to see in the organic matter that may have been purchased or created in the garden. The mushroom, known as the fruiting body, is an indicator that there is a fungal network under your feet. The healtheir the soil, the more that fungal network can grow and move through the soil, from the front of a property to the back of a property so that it can help the plants get all the nutrients, water and antibiotics it needs to survive! G3 embraces the work and studies of Paul Stamets. What a great message. Viva la soil!
