Description
Accomplishes what few other books have by helping growers use mycorrhizae to improve the immune systems of plants. This natural union between plants and fungi is the foundation of our food web.
Teaming with Fungi is an important guide to mycorrhizae and the role they play in agriculture, horticulture, and hydroponics. Almost every plant in a garden forms a relationship with fungi, and many plants would not exist without their fungal partners. By better understanding this relationship, home gardeners can take advantage of the benefits of fungi, which include an increased uptake in nutrients, resistance to drought, earlier fruiting, and more.
This must-have guide will teach you how fungi interact with plants and how to best employ them in your home garden.
– Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World
