HOE 91/F 368 Abstract of the Disclosure: Use of fungal mycelium as a soil adjuvant The present invention relates to a soil adjuvant of fungal mycelium which has been treated with quicklime. Fungal mycelium can be used as a soil adjuvant when the fungal mycelium is treated with at least 10 % of quick- lime. Even though over 20 % quicklime can be added, it no longer makes sense economically. 10-15 % of quicklime are preferably added, in particular 10-11 %. Quicklime con- tains approximately 92-99.5 % CaO (Wuhrer in Chem. Ing. Tech. 1958, pp. 19-30). This increases the dry matter of the product to a value of between 40 and 60 %. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of this soil adjuvant. The soil adjuvant prepared from fungal mycelium and quicklime has the advantage of being largely free from microorganisms and completely free from antibiotics. It can be prepared without the addition of a further synthetic product.
