Fungi

The following texts cover topics on:

1. Mycoremediation (Removal of toxic pollutants or biofiltration i.e. sprays, chemical fertilizers and other biological contaminants in soils or on farms...)

2. Soil nematode control mechanisms (Esp. various root-feeding nematodes)

3. Amending soils with fungi (the benefits of growing oxalate crystals for softening clay soil)

​

The list contains links (hover over text to select the link option).

More research needs to be done to show how fungi behave directly in soils doing cleanup!
