Using the fungi seems to be legal to me, so why are no companies making money with it? Or are they?
Yes, it is already marketed. However, the caution arises from the fact that if you add fungi that favor certain plants over other plants, and let them reproduce, you might drive ecosystem dynamics away from stability (something like that).
If the concern is about driving ecosystem dynamics away from stability, why does it matter in what way the fungus gives the plants benefits?
Once it escapes from the field, it might do lots of unintended harm. Different plants react differently to different fungi.
I understand that point what I don't know whether you know about the harm if you know why the fungi helps a particular plant.
The way it was stated in the book, it's just a white spot on the map. (In vitro culture of mycorrhiza. Ed. by Declerk, Strullu and Fortin.)
