We report 885$\mu$m ALMA continuum flux densities for 24 Taurus membersspanning the stellar/substellar boundary, with spectral types from M4 to M7.75.Of the 24 systems, 22 are detected at levels ranging from 1.0-55.6 mJy. The twonon-detections are transition disks, though other transition disks in thesample are detected. Converting ALMA continuum measurements to masses usingstandard scaling laws and radiative transfer modeling yields dust massestimates ranging from $\sim$0.3-20M$_{\oplus}$. The dust mass shows adeclining trend with central object mass when combined with results fromsubmillimeter surveys of more massive Taurus members. The substellar disksappear as part of a continuous sequence and not a distinct population. Comparedto older Upper Sco members with similar masses across the substellar limit, theTaurus disks are brighter and more massive. Both Taurus and Upper Scopopulations are consistent with an approximately linear relationship in$M_{dust}$ to $M_{star}$, although derived power-law slopes depend stronglyupon choices of stellar evolutionary model and dust temperature relation. Themedian disk around early M-stars in Taurus contains a comparable amount of massin small solids as the average amount of heavy elements in Kepler planetarysystems on short-period orbits around M-dwarf stars, with an order of magnitudespread in disk dust mass about the median value. Assuming a gas:dust ratio of100:1, only a small number of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs have a total diskmass amenable to giant planet formation, consistent with the low frequency ofgiant planets orbiting M-dwarfs.
