Ran into this company last week at the Far West Show (it's for the wholesale nursery industry). I was impressed with the guy I talked to and they have an endo mix that contains a good spore count of g. intraradices and g. mossae, as well as a couple of others, with NO trichoderma in the mix. The price was very affordable, and what looked like a lb was around $20.

I'm doing this from memory but I believe that the spore counts on Mykos is 80 spores per CC and the Plant Health Product was 110 spores per CC of just the two species I listed above (both symbiotic with pumpkins).

I've heard good things about Dr. Linderman, the founder of the company. Here's a quick bio:
or 41 years Dr. Robert Linderman was a Research Plant Pathologist for the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, and one of the world's leading experts on soilborne diseases and mycorrhizal fungi. He now has joined the private sector and has taken his wealth of knowledge and developed a line of cutting edge products that incorporate mycorrhizal fungi and other beneficial organisms, specifically targeted at helping the nursery and agriculture industries grow healthier plants. As the founder of Plant Health, LLC, he offers his expertise and years of experience to growers who desire to grow healthy plants in a sustainable manner by utilizing bio-based technologies.

And just to be clear, I'm not posting this to start another argument. I'd like to avoid that. Just wanted to share it for those who might be interested, but not really looking to discuss the merits of different brands.

This is just a product that I'm excited about because it's affordable and appears to be of high quality. I plan on testing it out on our Farm when I order myco again.

They are also the only company who sells an ericoid mycorrhiza that I'm aware of (azaleas, blueberries)

Thanks for sharing about this new product you saw at the Far West show. I attend similar events each year for work (MANTS, NEW ENGLAND GROWS, PANTS, TEXAS NURSERY & LANDSCAPCE) these are great events to learn about new products.

Since the one pound size of pumpkin pro is no longer available, this 1 lb/$20 might be a good option for some growers.

Mykos has a lb size and 2.2 lb as well. The 1 lb has an MSRP of $20.
