How Symbiotic Fungi Work with Roots to Support Plant Health and Build Soil Fertility

by Michael Phillips

$40 Hardcover Edition

Regenerative practices for the farm, garden, orchard, forest, and landscape.
Mycorrhizal fungi have been waiting a long time for people to catch on. How these symbiotic organisms enhance plant health is absolutely stunning. Nutrients are delivered by means of “fungus-root” synergy. A boost to green immune function helps keep disease at bay. Expansive fungal networks bring resiliency to ecosystems. Soil aggregate formation addresses carbon flow. Yet for the longest time, we have ignored basic soil biology and instead disturbed ecosystems at our own peril. Time to change all that, and fast! Join with me to catch this mycelial wave and work towards a tomorrow for generations to come.
