Abstract

The invention concerns a fertilizer to enhance the mycorhization and the fructification of mycorhizal mushrooms, in particular the tuber melanosporum. This fertilizer includes a mixture of non-ferment organic substances of animal origin (ovine excrements, fowl droppings, dried blood or feather powder), of organic substances of vegetable origin and essentially proteins and carbohydrates (in particular grains, flours, oil or cattle cakes or vegetable wastes from soy, cotton, wheat, rice, ricinus) and at least one alkalizing compound suitable to provide the mixture with a pH higher than 8; the mutual proportions of the ingredients are adjusted so that the C/N ration of the mixture is at least 10.
