.:: Soil Secrets ::.) not to be confused with the SoilSecrets.com site which is in the USA. Soil Secrets is probably the most comprehensive suite of 'friendly bacteria' products you can get and contains a lot more micro-organisms than simple Mycorrhizal funghi. Soil Secrets products however, at the current time are about as easy to get as rocking horse shit, I haven't yet found a stockist of Soil Secrets products.
There are other products that do a similar kind of thing for a lot more money. Advanced Nutrients do a suite of 'beneficial bacteria' products that includes Mycorrhizal funghi and is probably more like Soil Secrets in terms of the 'variety' of beneficial bacteria it contains. The three AN products are 'Voodoo Juice', 'Pirahna' and 'Tarantula', but as mentioned those three cost plenty of bucks and are probably best used together.
Just so we don't get the same kind of problems as we did with molasses, please read carefully. DO NOT USE THESE PRODUCTS IN HYDRO! They're for soil grows only. You risk highly unstable ph by introducing friendly bacteria into your reservoir and you won't get your ph under control while those organisms continue to multiply in your res tank. You've been warned.
