MycoGrow Powder | Mycorrhizal Powder for Lactarius deliciosus Production

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.
