<p>A method for cultivating a mycorrhizal fungus comprises: by means of a porous membrane which has fine pores through which a hypha of the mycorrhizal fungus can penetrate and pass, but through which an aqueous solution of nutrients does not permeate substantially under cultivating conditions, separating a main zone for cultivating the mycorrhizal fungus substantially from a nutrient source zone to which the aqueous solution of nutrients is to be supplied; supplying the aqueous solution of nutrients to the nutrient source zone and hyphae of the mycorrhizal fungus to the main zone and cultivating mycorrhizal fungus substantially in the main zone, thereby utilising the porous membrane as an artificial base material in which the mycorrhizal fungus is cultivated to produce a mycorrhiza. The porous membrane may comprise a water-repellent material and may be a composite of the water-repellent material and a wettable material. It may take the form of a pipe through which the nutrient material passes. <IMAGE></p> |
