It sounds easy, but if it were the dozen or so company's that have tried it would not have gone out of business.  There are currently only three mycorrhizae growers producing this material on a commercial scale in the United States all the rest are just private label companies buying the stuff from the three growers.  There are so many variables that go into growing mycorrhizae that any one variable can cause either complete failure or at the least very poor production.  Than you must contend with parasitic pathogens that want to eat the finished product of propagules, vesicles and spores.  I know many people with PhD's  in the field, who have spent their adult life trying to figure out how to consistently produce mycorrhizae and have only gotten modestly good at it.
