Hi Roberto -

I don't know of any way to assess bacterial versus fungal dominance by a
visual or smell, or temperature, etc test.

What we need to do is make lots of teas, assess all these things, and the
direct counts of bacteria and fungi, and see if there's some correlation. So
far, not.

But we are trying to make a little microscope ($150?) that anyone could use,
with a little book of pictures to go with so you can look in the book and see
what it is you have on your leaves.

Time...... please stay tuned to the SFI website.
