I have heard of truffle farms in Oregon. Someone has been successful in inoculation those oak trees.

What this man does not say is that these mycorrhizal fungi do not do this eco-system service for the sake of good karma, its a mutalistic relationship with the tree or plant. The plant will give off 40 to 50 percent of its sugars to the soil as a trade for the microorganisms that help it out (bacteria and especially fungi). So 40 to 50 percent of all that photosynthesized energy goes straight underground to to feed the soil.

As above, so below.
