no one seems to know for sure but here's what I've gathered. Subdue will not harm most mycorrhizae as they are not Oomycetes/Phycomycetes. Subdue only works on certain fungi that are from those groups. Most mycorrhizae are Basidiomycetes or Ascomycetes which are not affected by Subdue. Companion is a bacteria, bacillis subtillis. Subdue has no effect on bacteria so subdue seems okay.

Rootshield contains trichoderma which are known to be harmful to fungi, thats why its effective at disease prevention. Myco is a fungi so they don't seem compatible. We skirt this issue and pretend its fine as long as we store them separately. The fungicide clearys is harmful to myco as well. I see no problem with companion, rootshield and subdue together. Even so, many heavy hitters use myco, clearys, rootshield together with incredible results that can't be disputed.

I've spoken with reps from Bio Works (Root Shield) and according to them, Root Shield will not harm Myco.
