Fungi are very valuable for releasing minerals that are tied up in the native soil and rocks, but only if those minerals actually exist in that native soil. The Iodine found in sea salt is leached out of most soils, for instance.

thank you
I was also talking in terms of contamination as well. your right what every mineral is not there I like to add just that, like a lawn yellowing, gets iron if its not somthing else like over watering. Im also looking at cost$. I use dead organic material and mushies to make a compost test the soils for mineral contant and ph. All for pennies. Yes Im not hard of hearing Ihear the benifets if salt but one way seems more accurate. salt will not for the love of god CLEAN your dirt. mushies eat oil
