My last garden went gangbusters when I introduced this to the soil, especially in the second & third years after starting with it. It was really neat to see (via digging) that it was also invading the lawn around the garden, & that the grass there was clearly healthier than the rest of the lawn. The spores also did great when introduced to the compost pile. Tree/fungus interaction is also interesting. I planted four fruit trees, two near where an old tree had been taken down, and two on the other side of the lawn. Same soil, same watering, but the second two died — the only real difference I could see was a sizable patch of fungus which had been growing around the old tree, & which was still in the lawn near the trees that lived. Next time I plant trees I'm going to add in a bucket of dirt taken from an old-growth patch around the sapling roots & see what difference that might make.
