Advanced Nutrients Piranha® Beneficial Fungi is a root mass expander and beneficial fungi inoculant for maintaining a well-balanced root zone and improving nutrient absorption.
Piranha is built around powerful fungi that help create ideal conditions for an efficient rhizosphere. In the root zone, these beneficial fungi help transform nutrients into plant-available forms while feeding on waste secreted by roots, keeping the biology moving in a cleaner, more balanced direction. The result is a root-zone biostimulant that supports stronger below-medium performance when plants are building momentum.
This root mass expander highlights two key mycorrhizal roles that matter to growers. Ectomycorrhizae expand the surface area of roots, which supports improved nutrient absorption. Endomycorrhizal fungi can penetrate root membranes and transport nutrients into plants, reinforcing steady uptake when demand increases through active growth. Piranha is also positioned to improve plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, helping plants stay steadier when the environment isn’t perfect.
System flexibility is a core part of the design. Piranha is specially designed for diverse hydroponic growing media and all continuous liquid-feed growing systems, including aeroponics, drip irrigation and emitters, nft, flood and drain, and deep water culture. It’s also described as coco coir safe, and it’s positioned for regular watering and watering systems in both indoor and outdoor gardens. The product is intended for both vegetative stage and blooming stage cycles, making it a straightforward biological support product across the full run.
For a compact facts layer, Piranha has a stated npk of 0-0-0. As key biological inputs, it’s built around beneficial fungi, and it also includes Bacillus mucilaginous, a bacteria strain highlighted for helping solubilize phosphorus and potassium in the root zone.
This is a good fit for growers who want a beneficial fungi inoculant and root mass expander that supports a well-balanced root zone, improves nutrient absorption, and fits hydroponics, coco coir, and continuous liquid-feed growing systems.
Step-by-step mixing and feeding instructions for Advanced Nutrients Piranha Beneficial Fungi - 1 Litre.
Fill your reservoir or watering container with clean, room-temperature water first. Shake the bottle of Advanced Nutrients Piranha Beneficial Fungi - 1 Litre well before every use. Using the feeding schedule below, measure the recommended dose and add it directly to the water while stirring. Allow the solution to mix fully before adding any other fertilizers, additives, or supplements.
Always add nutrients to water — not the other way around. Mix thoroughly between products to ensure an even, stable nutrient solution.
Vegetative stage — Piranha
Flowering stage — Piranha
Warning – Important Safety Information
This product may cause mild skin irritation and eye irritation. Avoid unnecessary contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use only as directed.
General safety precautions
Read and follow all instructions on the product label and any accompanying documentation before use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing vapours, mist, or dust that may be generated during handling or use.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as protective gloves, long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe footwear. When there is a risk of splashing or airborne particles, use safety glasses or other suitable eye and face protection.
First aid – skin contact
IF ON SKIN OR HAIR: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Rinse skin with clean water for several minutes, then wash with mild soap and water. If irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
First aid – eye contact
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with clean water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If irritation persists, obtain medical advice.
First aid – ingestion and inhalation
IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional. Seek medical attention if you feel unwell.
IF INHALED: Move the person to fresh air and keep them comfortable for breathing. If coughing, breathing difficulty, dizziness or other symptoms occur, seek medical assistance.
Storage and handling
Store this product in its original closed container, in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Protect from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
Avoid release to drains, natural waterways or outdoor soil. Dispose of unused product and empty containers in accordance with local regulations and the directions on the label.
Important: If medical advice is needed, keep the product label or container available. Always follow the specific instructions and safety recommendations provided by the manufacturer. This safety notice is intended as general guidance and does not replace official label directions or documentation.

Bacillus mucilaginous is unique because it dissolves mineral particles and releases nutrients like potassium and silicon that are normally locked inside soil minerals. Most beneficial bacteria focus on organic matter or nitrogen cycling, but this species unlocks long-term mineral nutrition, giving it a distinct role in plant health and soil improvement.
Beneficial bacteria live around roots and help make nutrients easier to absorb, support faster root growth, and protect the root zone by crowding out harmful microbes. They’re important because they make plant growth steadier and more forgiving, and they’re unique because they are living helpers that can establish and multiply in the root zone instead of being “used up” like a non-living ingredient.
Pseudomonas chlororaphis is important because it helps protect and stabilize the root zone, making it easier for plants to maintain healthy roots, absorb water and nutrients consistently, and resist common root stresses that can look like nutrient deficiencies; it’s unique from many other root helpers because it works as an active rhizosphere competitor that both crowds out harmful microbes and supports plant defense readiness right at the root surface.
Pseudomonas putida is important because it helps keep the root zone stable by supporting nutrient availability, encouraging healthier root function, and competing against harmful root-zone microbes, which can lead to steadier growth and better stress recovery; it’s unique because it’s a highly adaptable root-colonizing bacterium that can thrive on many different root-released compounds, making it especially suited for consistent rhizosphere support.
Trichoderma harzianum is important because it supports healthier roots and a more balanced root zone, which helps plants take up water and nutrients more consistently and handle stress with fewer setbacks. It’s unique from most other “beneficial” options because it works primarily as a root-colonizing fungus that defends and strengthens the root environment, instead of acting like a direct nutrient source.
Trichoderma viride is important because it helps protect the root zone by outcompeting harmful microbes and supporting stronger, healthier roots, which leads to steadier nutrient and water uptake. It’s unique from many other beneficial microbes because it is a protective fungus that can both colonize root areas aggressively and directly weaken problem fungi, helping create a more stable root environment.
