Can you elaborate more?
I am trying to move forward with retention of knowledge regardless of agreement with subject. I guess another way to say it I am looking at the science of this thing we do. It makes more sense to me than how great someone believes or has others believing they R. Science of it, is done most times without bias. That is what I think that other dude was asking also back near the beginning. opinions can fluctuate,facts are things in existence from having obtained the knowledge or done the science. Not sure if that is any more explained.

Figured I'd share more info and keep it to this thread. I've been trying to research the whole Trichoderma and Mycorrhizae debate. Some claim the Trichoderma will eat the glomus fungis and others say there is a synergistic relationship created.
So, of course, you have some companies that use only mycorrhizae and others use trichoderma in their mix.
From what I've found so far it's a pretty even debate, some studies say one thing, more studies say another. I've found more positive results for the mix then I have negative.
An important question to ask is, what trichoderma are companies using? It would seem not all trichoderma is antagonistic towards mycorrhizae which is an important thing to note. [reference]
Here is an exert from an article I found which discusses mycorrhizae and trichoderma:
Trichoderma compatibility with Mycorrhizal fungi
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AMF) fungi are another wide spread, naturally occurring soil micro organism which forms a beneficial relationship with the roots of many plant species. Just as with Trichoderma species, enhanced growth and disease suppression has been well documented with the use of mycorrhizal fungi inoculated in the root zone of cropping plants (15) . Given that Trichoderma is such a strong predator and competitor of other species of fungi in the root zone, there has been concern in the past that negative interactions between Trichoderma and mycorrhizal inoculants could occur, thus making one or both fungi inactive and therefore incompatible. While numerous scientific studies have been carried out to determine if Trichoderma verses mycorrhizal antagonism does exist when both are introduced to the root zone of certain plant species, conflicting results have been reported.
The problem identifying if this sort of interaction does occur is that in biological systems there are multiple factors affecting the result. Not only are there many species of Trichoderma with different characteristics and abilities to predate other fungi, but mycorrhizal fungi also contain a number of species including Glomus claroideum, Glomus mosseae, Glomus intraradicesGlomus geosporum. Furthermore the conditions in which the fungi are introduced, the crop species tested, growing media, presence of other microbial life and a host of other factors affect the result of fungal interactions. While one study (Green et al, 1999) found that the Mycorrhizal fungi G. intraradices had an averse effect on Trichoderma harzianum, yet another study (Martinez-Medina et al, 2009) reported that combined inoculation with these two species provided better disease control results and a general synergistic effect than other Mycorrhizal species tested. and
Many other studies have found a synergist effect when Trichoderma was use in combination with certain species of Mycorrhizal fungi. It has been reported that dual inoculation of peat substrate with a mixture of 4 species of Mycorrhizal fungi and Trichoderma harzianum showed a significant effect on the growth and flowering of cyclamen plants (12), while another study found that more plant biomass was produced in a peat-perlite mixture when the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseaeTrichoderma aureoviridae (13) . Other researchers have also reported that various microbial inoculants such as Trichoderma and others showed no negative effects on Mycorrhizal establishment (14), while others have reported that combinations of Mycorrhizal fungi species with Trichoderma harzianum and other beneficial fungi have a synergistic effect and give greater increases in growth and disease resistance when combined (15, 16, 17) . It has been suggested that the differing results reporting the influence of Mycorrhizal fungi on other micro organisms is probably not only due to the combination and species of Mycorrhizal fungi evaluated but also the conditions such as nutrient availability when the studies were carried out (20) . was combined with
The bulk of the scientific evidence suggests however that the species of Trichoderma and Mycorrhiza commonly used as inoculants in soil and hydroponics are compatible and potentially synergistic when used in combination. Trichoderma and Mycorrhiza carry out different but potentially very beneficial roles in the root zone of plants, involving not only protection from many pathogens, but also nutritional and growth benefits.

A question I had for a long time is also answered from the article:
What do Trichoderma use as a food source?
Trichoderma release two main types of enzymes in their quest for sustenance – these are different types of cellulases and chitinases. Cellulase enzymes break down cellulose which is a component of plant cells, organic matter and crop residues. Chitinase breaks down Chitin which is a structural component of fungal cell walls (and insect exoskeletons). It is thought that Trichoderma switches the production of these two main enzymes on and off depending on what its main source of food is at the current time. In composts, bark, coconut fiber and other `organic’ type substrates there is initially plenty of cellulose to feed on, later on in the crop cycle, plant residues, exudates, dead roots and other organic material are also available for the Trichoderma to digest. Other fungi (certain species of Trichoderma are specific for certain fungi, while others have a wider range of prey) are a easily digested food source through activation of chitinase enzymes and the Trichoderma will actually coil around the host fungi and penetrate the cell walls fairly rapidly
This would lead me to believe that mycorrhizae + trichoderma is a positive relationship. It must be the right strain of trichoderma to prevent any issues. Also with the type of rich soil most growers are using there is plenty for the trichoderma to feed on, which would mean they have no reason to eat the glomus fungi. It would seem they would only go after that fungi if it were a certain trichoderma and/or if it were desperate with nothing else to feed on.
In our rich soil it has all it's food which would mean it leaves the mycorrhizae to do it's thing and as time passes the plant provides more food. In my opinion companies that tell you trichoderma eat the mycorrhizae and it's bad may not have fully researched the subject. If they do tell you this, at the very least let's be sure they seem educated on some of the things I've posted in this thread.
So, of course, you have some companies that use only mycorrhizae and others use trichoderma in their mix.

Here is an interesting read about mycorrhiza and trichoderma, specifically Glomus mosseae (G), Trichoderma harzianum (T)
Redirect Notice
Also one of the forum sponsors, PRO MIX has a mycorrhizae product, PUR. It is one of the higher quality mycorrhiza on the market, I prefer their powder over the granular. I just found a video they have which is pretty good at explaining mychorrizae in general, great for someone new to the topic:

Also they have a great diagram on their website here:

On my hunt to become more informed about this great fungi here is some more great reads I have come across: UAF/CES Publications :: Home
I'm interested in single species vs multi-species now. I haven't found much scientific evidence to prove a single species is superior. Here is a reference from the USDA: UAF/CES Publications :: Home
Here is an exert from that for those who don't want to read it all: "Our findings show that different AM fungi affect their host plant and host soil differently, and further, that a community of fungi acting in concert is likely to provide greater benefit to the plant-soil system than a single species."
I just did a search to try and find more findings about colonization competition and couldn't find anything really. If anyone has more to share please do, and include sources.

Yes, actually have been reading it lately.
Fungi is the first portion I'm looking at because it's heavily marketed and I like to separate hype claims from science

Sorry for the delayed response, yes you can give that a try! I would talk to the seller to see who they are, could be lying about spore count because who is going to check right?

I just wanted to let everyone know I reached out to a Dr. Robert Linderman who is a well respected mycologist and has worked with the USDA and been involved with mycorrhizae for a long time. I spoke with his daughter who is also a mycologist to my understanding and she confirmed essentially everything I've posted here.
Single species vs multi species plus the trichoderma debate.
