MycoGrow PinusMix | Mycorrhizal Powder for Mushroom Production in Pine Trees

MycoGrow PinusMix | Mycorrhizal Powder for Mushroom Production in Pines is a powdered mycorrhizal inoculant developed after more than 12 years of research. It contains spores and fragments of Boletus pinophilus, Lactarius deliciosus, and Cantharellus cibarius, combined with pioneering endomycorrhizal fungi such as Glomus intraradices and Glomus mosseae.

Its wettable powder format is easy to apply to pine root systems, promoting the essential mycorrhizal symbiosis for successful edible mushroom cultivation.

Contents: 30 g of active spores and endomycorrhizal fungi.

Usage Instructions:

1. Apply on pine trees aged between 5 and 25 years.
2. Expose surface roots.
3. Dissolve contents in 5 L of water.
4. Stir and water at the base of the tree.
5. Cover roots with previously removed mulch.

Important recommendations:

• Apply on moist days, avoiding heavy rain.
• Water weekly during prolonged drought.
• Avoid tilling inoculated soil in following years; clear only the surface litter.
• Light pruning helps promote light and mushroom fructification.
• Avoid using herbicides or pesticides on treated areas.

Fruiting: Estimated 18–36 months after application, depending on environmental conditions and management.

What is Mycorrhization and why is it beneficial?

Mycorrhization is a symbiotic relationship between soil fungi and plant roots. Main types: ectomycorrhiza (surrounds roots) and endomycorrhiza (penetrates root cells).

Benefits of Mycorrhization:

• Improved nutrient uptake: phosphorus, nitrogen, micronutrients.
• Greater stress resistance: drought, poor soil, heavy metals.
• Natural defense: competes with pathogens and stimulates plant immunity.
• Soil improvement: better aeration, water retention, root health.
• Promotes sustainability and forest biodiversity.

In summary, MycoGrow PinusMix is an effective and sustainable solution to optimize pine mycorrhization and boost gourmet mushroom production.
