Not mycorrhizal but very worthy, found an article where conifer waste (Pinus spp.) are treated with special fungi that degrade lignin present in mentioned wastes. (
Link)That substance inhibits fungal growth. The treatment incurred in 200% performance enhance within various Pleurotus spp. growing on Pinus substrate. So it may (should?) be a must for anyone trying to grow in such substrates.
I'm going to start a research on other lignin degrading species, where i'll need to replicate the mentioned article as a control group. So will have to buy the four species mentioned there, also gonna isolate Chilean lignin degrading species. Anyone interested on having them please feel free to contact me at

Please consider adding such lignin degrading fungi to your forest, planet earth might found it very helpfull in the far future.
