A - Immature compost can have activity ranging from 10 to 100%.
Mature compost should have activity between 2 to 10%.

B — Desired fungal activity and biomass depends greatly on the plant being grown.
Desired range given here is for a 1:1 compost.

C - Hyphal diameter of 2.0 indicates mostly actinomycete hyphae, 2.5 indicates community is mainly ascomycete, typical soil fungi for grasslands, diameters of 3 or higher indicate community is dominated by beneficial fungi
