What’s the importance of mycillium?

There are a number of benefits. In compost, it is helping to break down materials into smaller compounds. This makes the compounds more digestable to plants and other microbes.

Good soil is full of diverse microbial activity, so this is a good sign that the process of increasing that diversity is under way.

When using the compost on plants, mycellium can make a symbiotic relationship with the plant by connecting to the roots. The mycellium can assist with moisture levels, nutrient delivery, and plant-to-plant communication.

In addition, a beneficial species of mucellium can defend the plant from other fungal species.

Its not mycellium though it's almost certainly bacteria, go look at actinobacteria. You don't get mycelium from a hot compost as the turning and heat destroys the fubgi, current knowledge suggests you have to leave it static for atleast a year or so like a Johnson Su compost to get fungal hyphae.

That's what I thought as well. ChapGPT seemed to disagree. Everyone knows it is never wrong.

I was researching plant compounds that trigger ISR made from certain plants so I asked it to find and list them. It listed a lot of them, so I asked for the source of the first one in the list. It said there wasnt one. It said sorry and it didn't know why that happened. So it's really good at making credible sounding compound names out thin air 😆
