Soil Revival

Adding spent substrate from wine cap mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata) to sunflower rotations restored heavily degraded soil. It raised pH by 0.57, cut salinity by 37% percent, and increased available phosphorus by 84%. Bacterial diversity improved while fungal overgrowth dropped, relieving nitrogen limitations and showing SMS as an effective, sustainable soil-recovery tool.
