Here are some different recipes for #PeatFree #PottingSoil blends -- depending on what one needs it for (#SeedStarting, #RaisedBeds, #PottedPlants, etc). The recipes also call for the use of #mycorrhizae to simulate root production. My cannabis farmer friends use that in their soil blends!
How to Make Peat-Free #PottingMix
Easy #DIY Potting Mixes for Potted Plants and Mo"Going peat-free is one of the most impactful things we can do as gardeners to be better stewards of the earth and our resources. The lack of peat-free potting mixes at the garden center can be discouraging, but I see it as an opportunity to make my own which, frankly, has yielded far better results over the last few years. With a few basic components kept at hand, you can make great mixes for your plants, too!"

Teaming with Fungi by Jeff Lowenfels, 2013
The Organic Grower's Guide to Mycorrhize
Teaming with Fungi is an important guide to #mycorrhizae and the role they play in agriculture, horticulture, and hydroponics. Almost every plant in a garden forms a relationship with fungi, and many plants would not exist without their fungal partners.

A billion years ago, there were no plants on land. Plants managed to expand from the oceans by trading with fungi and microbes, who could break rocks down into nutrients they needed.
This led to a 90% reduction in CO2 levels. We owe our atmosphere, we owe our forests, we owe our grasslands to this partnership.
Mycorrhizae are still responsible for drawing down so much CO2 each year — the equivalent of ⅓ the emissions from fossil fuels.

#IndianGhostPipe - #MonotropaUniflora
Herbaceous, #perennial flowering plant.
It can't generate its own chlorophyll & is #parasitic - specifically #mycoheterotroph. Its #symbiotic #fungi hosts are in the #Russulaceae family.
Through the fungal web of #mycorrhizae, #GhostPipe roots sap food from where the host fungi are connected to the #photosynthetic #trees. Clustered node roots of this plant are covered in hairs called #cystidium. The #cystidia found on these roots allow easy attachment to #FungiHyphae. As it's not dependent on sunlight to grow, it can grow in very dark environments, like understories of forests.
#Indigenous #Cherokee peoples feature the "pipe plant" in some of their #CreationStories. The legend states that the plant was named "Indian pipe" due to a group of chiefs quarreling without resolution, while passing a pipe around during the dispute; the Great Spirit then turned the chiefs into the plant, as they should have smoked the sacred pipe after making peace with each other. The plant is said to grow wherever friends have quarreled.
Native to #PacificNorthwest & a few other areas too.

CW: Fungal banking - lending nutriens (underground networks lending to each other... sounds like a human story also...)
@bonifartius @mangeurdenuage I liked this page of writing, the end of this story rounded off nicely as I wanted with "Depending on your point of view" that it might be...
... #bank style lending / " #banking " by fungi
...or hard-wired in all the players
...or merely for millions of years, shaped the world around us
...or even might get taken over by something else biggerMy added version may be:
...the sacrifice towards keeping the whole thing running for some hope or lack of ability to kill itself ( #Ants can if feel they are infected but I guess that is a physical illness)... while #evolution somehow has perfected / is perfecting all the roles perhaps so humans are very much like mushrooms or #fungi in a another form / version... but there goes perspective again... running wild to the forest!Intriguing... as a free #mushroom myself 🍄 :mario: 🍄
P.S
"Mycorrhiza" always a pain to write and even remember but will remember it...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza
"A mycorrhiza is a #symbiotic association between a fungus and a plant. The term #mycorrhiza refers to the role of the #fungus in the plant's rhizosphere, its root system. #Mycorrhizae play important roles in plant nutrition, soil biology, and soil chemistry.
Any of various slender filaments that function as #roots in mosses and ferns and fungi etc
+ Rhizome Noun
1. A horizontal #plant #stem with shoots above and roots below serving as a reproductive structureP.P.S Confusing page title / thumbnail title
Oh yeah almost didn't click link because of the auto-generated title mentioning "Occasional paper" which wasn't page of the page really... so at least would have been clearer as "Fungal banking" as the start of title and then "Occasional paper:" though I understand now what it might mean but at first didn't go together at all and confusing.
"(Occasional paper)" as brackets for example would make it less looking like it's part of article's text and some kind of category or filing description. -
