Dave,
I do not know if it is any good, but a mycorrhizae inoculant is
available from A. M. Leonard (800 543-8955) under the name
"MycorTree Tree Saver", which claims to contain "beneficial
endo and ectomycorrhizal fungi, Terra-Sorb water absorbant gel
and plant biostimulants". The smallest quantity (50 3 oz pakets)
costs $97.50.
Has anyone tried water absorbant gels in cp culture? It might
give you a view of Utricularia and Genlisea traps.

Hi Alastair,
Have you manage to cultivate this maybe fungus? Only seen it
in the wild?
