Teaming with Fungi: The Organic Grower's Guide to Mycorrhizae

"Accomplishes what few other books have--helping growers use mycorrhizae to improve the immune systems of plants. This natural union between plants and fungi is the foundation of our food web." --Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World

By better understanding this relationship, home gardeners can take advantage of the benefits of fungi, which include an increased uptake in nutrients, resistance to drought, earlier fruiting, and more. This must-have guide will teach you how fungi interact with plants and how to best to employ them in your home garden.
