A good read indeed. Is there a thread with info on how to make your own organic root enhancing brew? Something that works similar to rapid start?

Yeah that would be aloe, fulvic acid and silica. The formula I don't have in front of me...

I think this thread would be alot MORE informative if we had pictures of diffrent fruitig bodies of mychorizzal.
and maybe Some BIM gathering advise?

myco's do work with salt nutrients, i have seen coco and promix grows and you can clearly see the roots are colonized! also i added worm tea to my dwc with brown roots and new white roots came and filled the bucket i added it with the nutrients at full stength 1.2 ec now i add the tea at 2 cups at every add back or few days, i add aquasheild and zho while brewing the tea i dont beleive the tea kills the myco powder, these 2 ideas seem to be a myth.

That ZHO is pretty good, but I prefer Super Plant Tonic from BMO. It's got beneficial bacteria and fungi in it. In soil, peat or coco, by the time I finish a grow, the roots and fungi have completely maxed out in my 3 gallon smart pots. I think it's better than the other brands I've used, because it's got azomite (trace minerals) in it. That really seems to up the yield on everything I grown using it so far. Plus since I started using it, I recycle all my soil, peat or coco, and the resuls of each grow have just gotten better. Which is cool, because I'm spending less money on growing medium, and getting better buds. True living organics rock !

I'm having killer results thanks to mycos. I am pretty happy with my success with roots oregonism but going to try out great white now. I use aloe and myco supplement for clones , then I usually have left over brews going which usually have alfalfa meal, kelp meal, humic acid, ewc, I get 85% success rates in clones without effort, I pick my faves and go from there.
Make your own teas and soils and you'll have a huge Web of fungal growth after cooking for 4 months. Kickass organics

So has anyone ever used or heard of anyone using myco when cooking up a super soil?

After the soil has cook...
Fungi in new soil introduced after the soil is cooked, when PH levels out. It is primarily added to the roots of a transplant into new soil.
Also granular is used to water with a few weeks after transfer.
With ROLS once a soil web is goes through a growing cycle and fungi is established in soil with plant roots, fungi soil web is preserved by cutting stalk right at soil line leaving roots in container, then amending with cover crop and or top dress after adding new transplant which will established relationship with existing soil web and get a jump start from being in soil where there is already symbiotic relationship between fungi and soil.
Fungi need soil with plants to survive not sure how long one can wait to replant new transplant in soil after mature plant is cut, for in time the roots will die while cover crop grows to fix nitrogen and fungi may dwindle in numbers for there is no live plant to establish symbiotic relationship with.

I am in the process of making a tea from my runoff and alfalfa meal and molasses and mycorrhizae and Iput a oxygen stone in it add a gal of RO water and it has bubbles and is foamy after only two hours is that normal?

It is not "normal" to make a "tea" from your runoff. It IS normal for a tea to froth. Making a tea from your runoff is kindof counterintuitive. Whatever organisms and nutrients are present in your runoff are (obviously) already present in your soil.
And don't add the mycorrhizal product to your tea... I seriously feel like a broken record I say this so often... The mycorrhizal fungi get dusted onto your roots at each transplant (especially early in the plant's life). Anything other than this is pretty much just wasting your money. MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI NEED DIRECT CONTACT WITH ROOTS IN ORDER TO GERMINATE AND GROW. They do not germinate or grow in tea; they become food for the things that DO grow in the tea.

I think that's the main benefit to no-till. You are leaving the root system, and all of the micro-life in tact which the next plant you put in there will plug right in to. Or at least that's the theory. If you pull the entire root system out, take the remaining soil and re amend you are somewhat starting over.
