Xtreme Gardening - Mykos – Natural Mycorrhizal Fungi & Root Mass Expander

Xtreme Gardening - Mykos - Natural Mycorrhizal Fungi & Root Mass Expander

Xtreme Gardening Mykos is a high-purity, beneficial soil microbe designed to dramatically expand your plant's root system for explosive growth and maximum nutrient uptake. Containing a highly active, single-species strain of mycorrhizal fungi (Rhizoglomus irregulare), Mykos forms a biological symbiotic bond directly with plant roots. This symbiotic network acts as a seamless extension of the root system, tunnelling into the growing medium to capture water and essential nutrients—especially phosphorus—that would otherwise be out of the plant's reach.

By drastically improving root structure and efficiency, Mykos accelerates the vegetative phase, increases lateral branching, and establishes the massive biological foundation required to support heavy, high-yielding harvests. It effectively transforms your growing medium into a living ecosystem that shields against root diseases and establishes long-term plant resilience. Whether you are growing in soil or coco, Mykos is an essential tool for achieving the healthy, fuzzy white root systems that define a successful garden.

Best For: Enhancing water and nutrient absorption, dramatically increasing root mass and structure, protecting plants against soil-borne root diseases, and minimising transplant shock during potting-up.

Key Features:

• Extensive Symbiotic Root Network: Ignites the growth of secondary root filaments (hyphae) that expand the effective surface area of the root zone up to several hundred times.
• Superior Phosphorus & Nutrient Uptake: Naturally solubilises tightly bound minerals in the soil, delivering a continuous stream of phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements directly to the plant.
• Drought & Heat Shield: The dense fungal network retains moisture in the rhizosphere, helping crops maintain turgidity and thrive during periods of environmental stress or dry spells.
• Active Root Disease Defence: Forms a physical, protective microbial barrier around root tissues, leaving no room for destructive pathogens like Pythium or Phytophthora to take hold.
• Fast-Acting Granulated Formula: Perfectly suited for direct application to root zones during transplanting or mixing into coco and soil blends for immediate inoculation.

Specifications:

Ideal For:

• Transplanting & Repotting: Generously dust the planting hole and root ball directly with Mykos granules to ensure immediate contact with the new root growth.
• Coco & Soil Mixing: Blend the granulated formula directly into your custom potting soil or coco coir mixes before planting to establish a healthy biological medium from day one.
• Seedlings & Cuttings: Sprinkle a small amount into propagation trays or rockwool plugs to promote rapid root development on delicate young clones.

Usage Tip: Mykos works best through direct physical contact with the roots. When transplanting, make sure the granules are touching the root ball. Since these are living organisms, avoid using high-concentration synthetic fungicides or heavily chlorinated water, as these can inhibit the fungal colony's ability to establish.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
