Thanks for the responses...and the correction, Jeff. I don't "want" to brew=
 it in tea, but we get the question often and there is a lot of misinformat=
ion out there. It makes sense to me that it needs a plant to express itself=
, but I was specifically interested if anyone had documented this in some w=
ay. In other words, does it harm the mycorrhizal fungi to brew it, or does=
 it simply not hurt?

We always tell people to add it their tea after it is brewed or directly to=
 the growing media..
