Re: [compost_tea] Fungi in the Bob-o-Lator



I agree with Jeff on the way to grow beneficial fungi in your compost.  Add beneficial fungal foods to the compost, and/or add Alaska humus to your not-so-great-compost, and let them grow at 50% moisture.  

Pay attention to the kind of fungi growing.  David Loring has some good pictures on his website of the different fungi grown from different composts with different food resources.  You can tell the bad "composts" because they only grew gray fuzz, not thick white strands.  

The kelps and algae weren't good fungal foods, because they didn't grow the beneficial fungi either.  The humus, humic acids and fish hydrolysate grew the good fungi from the good composts.  

Easy to test which composts are good composts that way too!

Or you can send tests into us to know as well.  Your choice!
