How Mykos Works

Xtreme Gardening Mykos® Wettable Powder is a high-purity, single-species endomycorrhizal inoculant that forms a permanent, symbiotic bond with your plant's roots. Once established, the fungus extends a secondary network of fungal filaments, called hyphae, out from the root system, giving the plant access to water and nutrients that sit beyond the reach of the roots alone.

What Sets Mykos Apart

Phosphorus Availability, The fungal network helps unlock phosphorus and micronutrients already present in the growing medium, moving them into the plant's vascular system.
Wettable Powder Format, Mixes into water for even penetration through the growing medium, reaching root tips directly rather than sitting on the surface.
Stress Tolerance, Plants treated with Mykos generally show better resilience to drought, heat stress, and transplant shock, since the expanded root network gives more margin when conditions aren't ideal.
Single Species Formula, Uses concentrated Rhizophagus irregularis rather than a multi-species blend, avoiding competition between strains and supporting faster, more consistent colonisation.
Extended Nutrient Reach, Fungal hyphae extend well beyond the natural root zone, accessing nutrients and moisture the roots alone couldn't reach.

The Wettable Format

This formula is highly soluble and mixes easily into water across coco coir, soil, or non-sterile hydroponic systems, giving a fast, even drench that starts working immediately with no dry application step required.

The Science of Symbiosis

Mykos contains a highly active strain of endomycorrhizal fungi. Once applied, these microbes plug directly into the root cells, extending the plant's effective nutrient absorption range well beyond what the root system could reach on its own. It isn't a nutrient, it's a living biological system that establishes once and continues working through the season.

Microbial Profile: Concentrated Rhizophagus irregularis (formerly Glomus intraradices)
Application Stage: Most effective during seedling, cloning, and transplanting
System Compatibility: Optimised for coco, soil, and drain-to-waste hydroponics

Application Guide

Transplanting: Mix 2 tablespoons per 4 litres of water and drench the root zone immediately after moving the plant
Reservoirs: Add to your nutrient tank during the vegetative phase, ensure no sterilising agents like H₂O₂ are present
Compatible With: Coco coir, soil, drain-to-waste hydroponic systems

Mykos pairs well with Azos, a nitrogen-fixing bacteria, for combined structural root growth and nitrogen availability, run alongside your existing feed program rather than replacing it.

Frequently Bought Together

Mykos + Azos, A biological root zone starting point for growers building a program from the seedling or cloning stage.
Mykos + Dutch Fest Root Mass Enhancer, Covers both fungal colonisation and root mass development across the full cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Mykos® Wettable Powder correctly?

For best results, apply Mykos® Wettable Powder 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® Wettable Powder compatible with my existing nutrient program?

Avoid mixing Mykos® Wettable Powder directly with concentrated nutrients, pesticides, or fungicides as these can kill living organisms. Apply Mykos® Wettable Powder 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® Wettable Powder have a shelf life?

Living microorganism products have a limited shelf life once opened. Store Mykos® Wettable Powder 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 to 12 months for maximum effectiveness.

Does Mykos® Wettable Powder ship fast within Australia?

Yes, Mykos® Wettable Powder ships from within Australia with fast tracked delivery Australia-wide. Most orders to VIC, NSW, QLD, SA and ACT arrive within 2 to 5 business days. WA, NT, and TAS orders typically arrive within 5 to 12 business days.
