I've seen posts here before on which antifungals are toxic to mycorrhiza, and which are safe, but I can't seem to find it with the site search function. I'd appreciate someone posting a link if they have it. I'm changing up my antifungal program and trying to decide which one to use.
I also have some benomyl and am wondering if it's worth using. I know it's toxic to earthworms, but does that make a difference to pumpkin growth? Cleary's 3336 is in the same group as benomyl...is it also toxic to earthworms?
Thanks for any responses.

Tom Privitera's site, ExtremePumpkinStore.com, has a list of "The Effects of Turf and Ornamental Fungicides on Mycorrhizal Fungi".
