@amanitadreamer yes I read that too, that it is possibly impossible to grow them or at least no one has had success.

The good thing is, I have nothing to loose to try it.
If I am able to 'grow' mycelium cakes, I could bury them where a tree grows, possibly near the roots, and raise the chance that the mycelium gets to a fruiting stage in the future.

Edit: Okay I understand that it is nearly impossible to get mycelium from dried caps and that the symbiosis with trees is quite complex.
Well, lets see what happens. I will report back if something grows.

I don't know if growing mycelium cakes of amanita muscaria at home is possible. But I want to give it a try. I have dried caps and I want to make liquid mycelium first.
It is already in a bottle, I will check periodically if there is something visible inside. Because I don't know how and at which temperature the caps were dried, this could be possible or fail. Then I would use the liquid mycelium to make grain spawn or something similar, and from there on the doing the cake.

I am at the very beginning and have not very much experience with growing mushrooms. At least I have a ganoderma lucidum (reishi) cake which is pinning now.
Hi mczero, there are a couple of threads on this forum just for you.
