Ah. Not, THAT makes a LOT more sense. But you should always make it

Oops. I meant "induced artificially".

Fine. But, if I were to refer you to something that I was using for
blackwood, oak, beech, or growing truffles, it wouldn't help you at all.
I am not, but I thought about it and looked into it a little.


Aside (not to you): God. British botanical loons, again. So ignorant
that they pluralise the obviously Greek-derived word "mycorrhiza" to
"mycorrhizae". And the OED confirms that it is precisely a British
botanical delusion.

I still remember a speeling test at my first prep. school that foxed
everyone with "hippopotami" (he pronounced it "-MY". No, that is not
the correct plural, as several of us (aged 7) knew. Of course, it was
a common local wild animal, and not an exotic.
