Mykos® Mycorrhizae | Root Inoculant & Beneficial Fungi Booster
The Biological Engine for 100% More Root Reach
Most plant's root system, on its own, is severely limited. It can only absorb what it can physically touch. And in a grow environment stripped of natural biology, that limitation costs you yield every single run.
Xtreme Gardening Mykos® changes that equation permanently. A high-purity, single-species endo-mycorrhizal inoculant, Mykos forms a life-long symbiotic relationship with your plant's roots — extending a massive network of fungal filaments (hyphae) deep into the medium to create a secondary root system that captures water and nutrients your plant simply couldn't reach alone.
This isn't a supplement. It's a biological infrastructure upgrade.
Why Mykos® is the Gold Standard for Biological Growing
- Phosphorus & Mineral Mining — Mykos specialises in unlocking phosphorus and essential minerals that are locked in your media, delivering them directly to root cells for immediate use.
- Elite Transplant Protection — Eliminates stall time. Mykos significantly reduces transplant shock by facilitating rapid root establishment and recovery from the moment it's applied.
- Pure Single-Species Precision — Unlike cocktail brands that dilute with useless species, Mykos uses concentrated Rhizophagus intraradices — the specific fungi proven to work with vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
- Bulletproof Stress Resistance — Treated plants show dramatic increases in tolerance to heat, drought, and high-intensity lighting — the exact conditions that kill average grows.
- Self-Sustaining Biological Network — Once established, the fungal network keeps growing and working without re-application, compounding its benefits over time.
The Mykos Advantage — Why Single Species Wins
Most mycorrhizal products on the market are cocktail blends — dozens of species crammed into one bottle, competing with each other for root colonisation. The result is slow, inconsistent performance.
Mykos takes the opposite approach. One species. Maximum concentration. Zero competition. Rhizophagus intraradices is the most researched and proven endo-mycorrhizal strain for food crops, flowers, and high-performance gardens — and Mykos delivers it at the highest purity available.
The Science of the Fungal Network
Mykos works by plugging directly into the plant's vascular system. In exchange for simple sugars produced via photosynthesis, the fungi provide a massive expansion in nutrient absorption surface area — extending the root's reach by up to 10 times and accessing phosphorus, zinc, and micronutrients that standard roots can't touch.
- Microbial Profile: Pure Rhizophagus intraradices — no fillers, no competing species
- Application Stage: Best used during seedlings, cuttings, and transplants
- System Compatibility: Optimised for coco, soil, and drain-to-waste hydroponic setups
Application Guide
- Transplanting (Granular): Add 1–2 tablespoons directly under the root ball so roots make immediate contact with the granules
- Wettable Powder: Mix into a drench and apply to the root zone immediately after transplanting
- Hydroponics: Use in non-sterile systems only — ensure no H₂O₂ or chlorine is present before adding
The Bio-Stack: Combine Mykos with Azos® Nitrogen Bacteria for the ultimate biological one-two punch. Mykos builds the root infrastructure. Azos provides the nitrogen fuel. Together, they create a self-sustaining biological engine that outperforms chemical-only programs at every stage of growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply Mykos® Mycorrhizae correctly?
For best results, apply Mykos® Mycorrhizae directly to the root zone or growing medium at transplant or when introducing to a new system. Wettable powder formulations can be mixed into water and applied as a drench or root soak. Granular formulations are best mixed into the growing medium before planting. Avoid mixing directly with chlorinated water — use dechlorinated, pH-adjusted water for best microbial viability.
Is Mykos® Mycorrhizae compatible with my existing nutrient program?
Avoid mixing Mykos® Mycorrhizae directly with concentrated nutrients, pesticides, or fungicides as these can kill living organisms. Apply Mykos® Mycorrhizae separately to your normal nutrient feed or mix into your growing medium. Most mineral nutrients at normal working strength are compatible once diluted in the reservoir.
Does Mykos® Mycorrhizae have a shelf life?
Living microorganism products have a limited shelf life once opened. Store Mykos® Mycorrhizae in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Refrigeration extends shelf life significantly but do not freeze. Check the best-before date on packaging and use opened product within 6–12 months for maximum effectiveness.
Does Mykos® Mycorrhizae ship fast within Australia?
Yes — Mykos® Mycorrhizae ships from our Australian warehouse with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide. Most east coast orders arrive within 2–5 business days. WA, NT, and TAS orders typically arrive within 5–12 business days.
