It all depends on the species. There's a whole kingdom of them. Some of the myco-supplements have many species in one mix. With this method, you can do research on the included species to see what conditions they thrive in.
You can also go to a flourishing area, and dig up a patch of mycellium. It will grow back, I promise. This will also give you the related microbes for a balances soil ecosystem. Use the soil dug up from the verdant area to innoculate portions of your barren area. In this case, you don't often know of the species you are dealing with, but local conditions, and observation, will guide you.
yeah thanks for that info! I need to take a shovel and machete into the jungle and find it. i have about 120 acres of secondary forest preserve that I haven't even seen due to access. I just need to take some time and go in there. I'm sure there are all sorts of goodies hiding in the shade of the trees.
You don't have to dig deep. Any vegetation that you cut can be used as mucellium food in your bare areas. Once the colonies start, everything can really take off. Add some lactobascilus (LAB) to the effort, and you'll have a lush area.
I'll look into this for sure. what part of the world are you in?
