I have some pepper plants that I planted in 2017. The land has been untouched, with the expection of weed maintainence through the trenches. I noticed a huge mushroom growing on the step of a pepepr plant that had lots of fruit on it. :-D. There are giant trees that drop leaves on the plot. It gets a steady suppy of leaves. I have another plot of pepeprs. That one has fungal spores where it gets leaves, where there are no leaves the plants are smaller and sadder and there are no spores on the ground. That plot also suffers from mite infestation, while the one where the mushroom is growing on the stem pf the plant does not.
JADAM is not one in the same as Korean Natural Farming. They have similar general ideas yet in practice are much different. JADAM removes the use of Brown Sugar. Chris Trump would be a good interview for John considering he saved his farm with the use of Korean Natural Farming techniques. And took it to another level and even got the approval of his teacher with his new ideas. And what I see happening now is people with microscopes are getting into the KNF and seeing for themselves what works and what does not vs tradition as in do it this way because that is how it has always been done. The see the new guys in KNF taking it to new levels. Great interview.
Regarding the Korean Natural Farming method of obtaining Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO), Dr. Elaine Ingham has noted that the rice will only be adding more bacteria and not the fungi that are usually needed for rebalancing the soils/dirt of disturbed ecosystems.

I'm gonna inoculate my Aspen trees - which are a root clone - with Shiitake. So it SHOULD spread throughout the "wood lot forest." Pretty exciting!

Pictures of the rice show the miko growth clearly
