Orchids are pushing out stinkweeds? What is an epiphyte? Are
you
kidding me?


Sorry, mcorrhizae is autonomous of the tree. It exists without
trees. Trees are not the only plant which depends on mychorrizae.
I
can buy mychorrizae innoculant online.

You cannot innoculate with an organ.

No, you incoculate with the fungus that produces the organ. Why
are
you being so picky about this?

Just being truthful.

It is not attached to any tree I know
of. Fungal mats exist without the presence of trees. C'mon, you
have got to be kidding me. You actually think mychorrizae is
made
up of tree root AND fungus? It's not.

Maybe you better define what mycorrhizae is in your words. It is
a
Greek word meaning -
mycor - fungus rhiza - root. It is an composite structure made
up
of plant roots (most trees) and fungi. Is it fungi or root? YES!

Why don't you try reading that yourself, but this time read the
whole
thing and not just the first sentence. It explains how such
inoculants work.

If you object to the nomenclature commonly used, "Mycorrhizal
Inoculant", then would you be so kind as to first suggest an
equally
succinct alternative and then take the matter up with the producers
of such products or the government or someone else who has the
power
to change that nomenclature instead of continuing to harangue a
bunch of people who don't have any control over it?

oh, so you are saying that trees do or do not have mycorrhizae?
That
was the argument.

It was? I saw nobody questioning the existence of them, only arguing
over how many mycorrhizae can dance on the head of a pin.
