Description

MycoGrow Powder | Lactarius deliciosus is a premium mycorrhizal powder specifically designed to promote the production of *Lactarius deliciosus*, a highly valued wild mushroom in gastronomy. Developed by Aromas e Boletos after over 12 years of research, it contains spores and propagules that foster effective mycorrhizal symbiosis in hardwood species such as oaks, beeches, birches, or holm oaks.

The formula incorporates pioneering endomycorrhizal fungi (Glomus intraradices and Glomus mosseae), ensuring effective root colonization and stimulating fungal fruiting under optimal conditions.

Main advantages:

  • High viable spore concentration: ready to colonize roots and establish symbiosis
  • Enhances nutrient absorption: phosphorus, nitrogen, and essential trace elements
  • Improves stress tolerance: better resilience to drought and poor soils
  • Protects against soil pathogens and enhances root system health

Usage instructions:

  1. Expose surface roots of trees aged 5–25 years.
  2. Dissolve the 30 g packet in 5 L of water, stirring regularly.
  3. Apply via watering at the base of each plant, then cover with removed mulch.

Important recommendations:

  • Apply on humid days to minimize leaching.
  • Avoid tilling treated areas in subsequent years.
  • Perform light pruning to promote light exposure.
  • Water weekly during prolonged drought.
  • Do not apply pesticides or herbicides that interfere with mycorrhization.

Expected fruiting: 18–36 months post-application, depending on environmental conditions and management.

Contents: 30 g mycorrhizal spore powder (estimated yield depending on plant size/number).

What is mycorrhization? It’s a symbiosis between soil fungi and plant roots forming mycorrhiza structures (ectomycorrhiza or endomycorrhiza), providing:

  • Better nutrient uptake (phosphorus, nitrogen, trace elements)
  • Greater resistance to environmental stress like drought and poor soil
  • Protection against soil-borne pathogens
  • Improved soil structure for enhanced root development
  • Forest biodiversity and sustainability

Mycorrhization is a natural, key strategy to optimize plant growth, health, and productivity in both natural and agricultural ecosystems.

AI FAQs
It is an advanced mycorrhizal inoculum designed to colonize the roots of hardwood species, facilitating the production of saffron milk caps (Lactarius deliciosus) and improving overall soil health.
Application is simple: the powder is mixed with water and applied directly to the tree's root zone through irrigation, allowing the spores to come into contact with the roots.
Fruiting depends on the tree's age, climate, and soil quality. Although mycorrhization begins after application, mushroom production usually requires the tree to reach its productive maturity.
It significantly improves the absorption of water and nutrients (such as phosphorus and nitrogen), increases resistance to soil pathogens, and helps the plant better tolerate water stress.
Yes, it is a 100% natural and ecological product based on biological symbiosis processes. It contains no harmful chemicals and benefits the microbial biodiversity of the soil ecosystem.
