Hey folks, not to rain on your parade but all of this is really not possible OR is a waste of time. If you see my videos I talk about the science of AM and why its not possible. I also talk about helping to grow amanita in the wild. I don't mean to sound harsh, I speak plainly so don't take it personally. I know we are all learning here. BUT there is some science that is conclusive and those sites and links you mentioned I have read are full of a lack of understanding of some really basic science. I would disregard them.Rebis wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 8:29 pmI've been thinking about propagating Amanita Muscaria in areas where they don't grow yet.
Ursus as mentioned smearing some of the spores from freshly picked muscaria near trees without Amanitas.
Does anyone know of other methods?
I take home all the stipes when out foraging, and I was wondering if I mushing up these stipes and then buried the pulp under a silver birch or pine tree, would that work, for in the technique of growing the fleece, any part of Amanita muscaria is able to grow mycelium even after it has been dried; or have I got that all wrong?
What about letting the spore fall into a porridge solution, and burying that under a tree? Does anyone think that might work?
Rebis.
There is a simple way to help grow amanitas in your area and I made a video on it, if you care to see it it is called simply, How To Grow Amanita. Punching holes in roots is a waste of time. The mycellium doesn't touch the roots of the trees, they are separated by cells and space. They each produce the molecules each one needs and put them in the space in between where each can easily take them into their roots and mycelium. I didn't mean to shut down an interesting thread just wanted to help. The video on how to grow amanita should help. Signed Debbie Downer LOL!
