Yeah...I forgot that, too, when I was discussing this with inkcube...
The mycorr typically can't be trusted to be just 'cast' into a compost pile and stirred in, no matter how well "finished" you think it is, unless it all will be used at that point in time.

In other words...Leaving mycorr in compost piles risks damaging the spores. You're better off adding it to the compost just when you need to.

i.e.- The endomycorr I've used in turf is sprayed right on the seed after the soil's been prepared, exactly at the site where it'll be most functional.
It is then that I rake about 1/2 " of finished compost over it.
