I have found for instance that the 500 and barre compost remedies are teaming with these beneficial soil fungus and the equisetum tea promotes big fat fungal filaments. I have always noticed the way the fungus will grow in a pile of wood chips. It is very interesting that the oak [and other hard woods?] will promote the proper fungus in the farm soils. This is very good information. I have iniated a native tree project on Long Island becuz at the rate they are cutting down trees I am afraid of massive disease and die-offs due to the disruption of what is left of this ecosystem. I would be very interested in participating in some research project and I may have a large tract of woods to work in...sstorch
