Growing Your Own Mycorrhizal Fungi

Doing research about Mycorrhize and came across these videos about growing your own. He does mention he is using another persons guidelines and should check that out. I don't know if this can be done as I have not tried it. Apparently you should use the one type of plant.
Found it interesting.

It's an interesting idea. I was sorting through some old issues of Fine Gardening magazine and I came across an article on the same subject - this was from about 20 years ago, before mycos were fashionable. Unless one is interesting in pursuing production on a commercial scale, I can't imagine it would be worth the effort.

I would expect that sanitation would be a problem (the rhizosphere could
end up growing a lot of bacteria and other stuff besides the target
fungi).
