Laura asked where strawberries are on the gradient of fungal to bacterial.

Think about where strawberries grow in natural ecosystems.

Understory in forests. More fungal than bacterial

Which is why they are so stressed when they grow in sand with no organic
matter. Why do strawberries taste like wood when they are grown in no
organic matter soil?
