Fungal trays 4 Fungally Dominated Actively Aerated Compost Teas

[Vandenberg]

I recently found a post on reddit that makes good sense as way to fungally enhance actively aerated compost teas. I have a newfound interest in the past couple years in growing in organic style living food web soils after decades of indoor NPK chemical farming.

Jeff Lowefels has a lecture on youtube done with Verde Natural and in it was noted that living soil expert Phd Dr. Elaine Ingham as saying cannabis prefers a 6:1 - 1:1 bacteria:fungi ratio, which is indicated by their preference of a slightly acid PH of 6-7 (with a 1:1 ratio of fungus:bacteria being a neutral 7)
Cannabis is an annual having a short life cycle so it can be hard for them to form good fungal relations.
The reddit Sourced directions/recommendation is to:
Take a seed tray and fill to about an inch depth with compost -
Take bokashi bran
(powdered oats work well too but bokashi bran is wayyy more effective)
and sprinkle a thin layer on top and scratch it in -
sprinkle on another thin layer on top of that but don't scratch it in this time
-spray it with a water bottle to moisten
(then using some fulvic/humic acids and/or fish hydrolysate for fungal food.)
-cover and let sit for a few days making sure to keep moist -when you get a nice mycelial mat you can use it to make a compost tea!

So does anyone routinely use this method to make a fungally dominated tea?
Any other simple techniques or suggestions to Recommend to cultivate these desirable mycellium for tea brewing purposes? ( being that fungal spores don't take well to activating in bubbling brews, so I've been told.)
My initial batch is underway with a fish/crab/shrimp hydrolysate that I just acquired as the fungal food.
This concept certainly can"t be new, but not much apparently has been written about this potential soil enhancement technique.

Happy Gardening

The above recipes recommended key ingredient is BOKASHI.
What is Bokashi many might wonder.

Bokashi is a 200-year-old Asian recipe for composting, which uses beneficial microbes, such as lactobacillus, yeast, and phototrophic bacteria (PNSB), combined with a bran base.

The Bokashi process is usually used to convert food waste and similar organic matter into a soil amendment which adds nutrients and improves soil texture.
It differs from traditional composting methods in several respects.
The most important are:

• The input matter is fermented by specialist bacteria, not decomposed.
• The fermented matter is fed directly to field or garden soil, without requiring further time to mature.
• As a result, virtually all input carbon, energy and nutrients enter the soil food web, having been neither emitted in greenhouse gases and heat nor leached out.
• Other names attributed to this process include bokashi composting, bokashi fermentation, fermented composting and "EM1 inoculant".
