Just your friendly moderator here.  This is a good topic for those who
want to go for more fungally dominated teas.

Ascophyllum nodosum is the kelp most use for tea.  For some reason it
provides a terrific surface for fungal attachment and subsequent
growth. Perhaps Doc E can either correct or help us with why this
particular Kelp is the kelp of choice with most ACT brewers seeking
fungal teas.

Kelp meal, incidently, seems to work as well judging from some of the
posts this summer. It sure is a lot cheaper. Anyone care to comment on
kelp meal vs kelp powder and Ascophyllum nodosum vs other kelps?

Cheers,

Jeff L
