Re:Mycorrhizal fungi - 2008/03/07 19:30 Hi Dave,
That's a good question! I've done a lot of research on this, and while I don't know for sure if VC contains the actual fungus per se, but as I understand, it does contain Mycorrhizal fungi spores.

From what I've read, Mycorrhizals live around plant roots, where they form a relationship with the plants, and act as an extension of the roots themselves. Perhaps a worm bin environment would not be as suitable for the fungus to thrive as say, in a garden? So I would assume, that if you were to use VC on your garden plants however, you would be thereby innoculating the plants with the fungal spores.

This is the reference I had bookmarked:
(maybe you've already read it?)
