Thanks Jeff. You're saving me some work here. In the same vein, is it
to our advantage to
inoculate all the compost in the tea batch? Is more fungi better?

Judi, you could activate will all sorts of stuff. My research, however,
shows that the medical and other communities that grow soil fungi use
Oatmeal products in the lab along with agar because oatmeal selects for
soil fungi. For what it is worth, corn meal was number two.
 
In addition, while it looks like you are only growing one type of fungi
because it looks uniform, these fungi look a like and you are most
probably growing lots of kinds.
 
Cheers,
 
Jeff
