"Eating at home..." Mycogrow
We pour Mycogrow (MycoGrow™ Soluble) around the base of plants as we
plant them to encourage good root growth - from Fungi Perfecti.

"The term mycorrhizal comes from the Greek words mykes, meaning fungus,
and rhiza, meaning root. Mycorrhizal fungi are fungi that have
developed a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the root
systems of living plants, from garden vegetables all the way up to the
trees of the Old Growth forests. Networks of mycorrhizal filaments
envelop the seedling’s root structure, supporting the plant’s own
ability to utilize water and nutrients in the soil. This relationship
encourages healthy, vigorous growth—naturally."
Comparison of Plants
Local Puget Sound organic farmer John Moss performed an experiment
with his crop of onions, treating one bed with MycoGrow™ to see how it
would compare to his other beds. The results were impressive!
Fungi Perfecti’s MycoGrow™ products are designed for everyone from the
home gardener/landscaper to the professional forestry manager,
promoting faster growth, speeding transplant recovery and reducing the
need for fertilizers and other additives. A number of different
formulations are available, for all methods of plant cultivation.
(Please note: the mushroom species in our MycoGrow™ mycorrhizal fungus
products have been selected for their speed of growth and maximum
potential benefit to plants; they are neither gourmet nor medicinal
mushrooms. While these species are not toxic or dangerous in any way,
they are nonetheless not intended for human consumption.)
Our MycoGrow™ products contain mushroom species that are approved for
use throughout the continental United States and Canada. However, our
customers in Hawaii should be aware that they are not permitted in the
state of Hawaii. We encourage all international customers to check
their countries’ import regulations prior to ordering."
