Save Smarter: How Fungi Reduce Fertilizer Costs and Boost ROI

Fertilizer isn’t cheap—and it’s not getting cheaper. From global supply shocks to increased nitrogen restrictions, farmers are stuck in a costly cycle. But what if the real issue isn’t how much fertilizer you use—but how much your plants actually access?  That’s where mycorrhizal fungi come in. By restoring the natural microbial systems that enhance nutrient…

Fungi That Stick Around: How Regenerative Practices Preserve Soil Biology 

Every farmer wants higher yields, healthier plants, and better margins. But the ultimate goal? A system that sustains itself.  That’s what regenerative agriculture—and especially mycorrhizal fungi—can help achieve. At Farm Fungi, we’ve worked with growers who, after several seasons of using our mycorrhizal inoculants and adopting soil-friendly practices, no longer need to reapply our product.…

Deep Roots, Real Profits: How Mycorrhizal Fungi Supercharge Corn Growth 

Yield isn’t just about genetics or fertilizer. It’s about root access—to moisture, nutrients, and microbial allies that make those inputs count. In modern corn systems, root health is the most overlooked factor in maximizing both productivity and profitability.  Mycorrhizal fungi—nature’s underground network—are proving to be a game-changer in boosting root structure, nutrient absorption, and stress…

What’s Killing Your Soil—and How to Revive It with Fungi 

Farmers across North America are dealing with a growing problem they didn’t create—and often can’t see. Compacted ground, crusted surfaces, falling yields, and mounting input costs are symptoms of a deeper issue: biological collapse in the soil.  For over a century, conventional practices—deep tillage, excessive synthetic fertilizer use, and repeated chemical applications—have stripped soils of…

How Mycorrhizal Fungi Rebuild Soil, Boost Yield, and Shrink Your Fertilizer Bill 

For generations, farmers have leaned heavily on synthetic fertilizers and intensive tillage to achieve higher yields. Yet these practices, while immediately effective, come at a long-term cost: degraded soil structure, declining organic matter, and weakened biological systems. Enter mycorrhizal fungi—a natural, scientifically-backed soil ally that offers a better way forward.  This article explores how these…
