Did you know that approximately 90% of all plants form a symbiotic relationship with a fungus? |
Mycorrhizal Fungi colonize plant roots and extend root system into the surrounding soil, improving the ability of the plant to use soil resources.
Join Jim Gouin of Fungi Perfecti for a fungal filled evening as he discusses the benefits of mycorrhizal fungi in agriculture and natural resource management.
We will explore some basic fungal biology and why these types of fungi are important in maintaining a healthy soil. We will also show you how to incorporate them into your garden and family forests.
Being that September is also the beginning of the wild mushroom season here in the Pacific Northwest we'll finish off the evening looking at some of the best mycorrhizal edibles you might encounter in our magnificent forests.
