  • ​Planting To Encourage Mycorrhizal Fungi
    • ​Work has started to promote the growth of mycorrhizal fungi across Goulburn-Mulwaree following on from a similar and long-established project around Ringwood, a Melbourne suburb, by one of our committee members, Chris White. The impetus for a similar project in Goulburn Mulwaree was given a further boost by a fascinating presentation by Alison Pouliot, an ecologist with an interest in fungi. The role of mycorrhizal fungi in the sequestration of soil organic carbon, cannot be overstated and it is something in that regenerative farmers, Landcare Groups, councils and garden owners can be a part.

    • See the following link for information on the benefits of mycorrhizal fungi in building soil organic carbon that will help moderate the temperature of the soil:- ​https://www.spun.earth/.  ​​

    • For more information on the topic see Alison Pouliot's book, "Undergorund Lovers" (ISBN 9781742237664 paperback), in particular the last chapter thereof.
    • You can buy a soil stimulant that comes from a J-Su bioreactor, see:-  https://biostim.com.au/shop/myco-gold/? 
    • Two MF patches have been built in Uworra Close, as part of the Coolowyn Road Project.
