where i live...the soil is naturally hydrophobic. it's a problem for absolutely everyone. how we treat it over here is with soil wetters that are a bit of mild-mannered dish-like soap which, when watered onto the soil's surface, penetrates into the dried out bits and allows the water back in.
about the fungus...
is it like yeast...in that it remains dormant until the correct conditions present themselves and then they begin to multiply and thrive? i ask...because i'm interested in knowing if it is possible to create and maintain your own colony.
