I mean can it be made at home with duct tape and branflakes or what?

I hate the thought of not knowing what it is and how to make it.
I hope to be fully using raw ingredients for all my stuff eventually as long as it is semi practicle.
Anyway

I agree... I feel better when I make things myself. But, not all the time. I do like to trust that the companies are providing a good product at a fair price. Not sure how to go about making your own mycorhizae. You must have to order the spores from someone

You can't grow mycorrhizae in compost tea. They are species of fungi and the spores need to be near the roots of a living host plant before they will hatch, attach to a root, grow and reproduce.
That is how Mycorrhizal innoculants are produced commercially, they are grown on plant roots, harvested and the propagules are separated. Propagules are viable spores and mycelium (fragments of mycorrhizal roots)

Got that from a tomato site

That ^^^^^^^^

I bumped up a thread on how I do it.

For quality and fair price:
www.fungi.com
www.bioag.com

Have used both places for years.
