Re: RES: [compost_tea] Don't use MOLD and a RANT



SFI does differentiate fungal diversity.  On the report, you get an average fungal diameter.  IN GENERAL, the higher fungi have a wider diameter than the lower fungi.  Lower fungi are, IN GENERAL, the disease causers. 

Fungi that sporulate rapidly are, IN GENERAL, the disease causers.  That's the pathogen life-style.  Grow fast, make lots of off-spring.  Those are the clouds dust you see.

The colored hyphae - green, black, blue-green, pink, grey, tend to be the disease-causers, although that is only a trend, not as good a generalizaiont as the others.  But still, not too bad. 

The GOOD GUYS grow their hyphae trhough the medium NOT fuzz, not hairy fuzz-balls.  Santa;s beard, ok, good description, because it's a DENSE, thick mat, not fuzz.  They do not easily sporulate!

OK?
