From the pub you reference, it looks like some fungi can be beneficial. But many are not - many fungi cause wilts, rots, etc.

We only use naturally-occurring microbes, without genetic engineering. We focus on the unit of the cell, rather than the unit of the gene, to make our products.

Are you able to target detrimental fungi while sparing nitrogen-fixing species, along with those that naturally prey on insects?
