muscaria prints or spores

[hi]

where can i find them?
thanks

You mean Amanita muscaria spores I guess? I dont think they are for sale since it is virtually impossible to grow them. Amanita's have a symbiotic relationship with certain tree's. Good luck in creating a sterile environment around the roots of a tree

Heartcore,

Its posible ,trust me

You can get the prints at Sporework (any mush i guess)

Could you provide us with the information how it's done, I bet there are a lot of people here that would be interested. I'm under the impression that the main problem is, as already mentioned, the symbiotic relationship with certain trees' root systems that is vital for amanitas.

On the page you provided they say:

Like the chanterelle, this is a mycorrhizal species that resists laboratory cultivation attempts. It requires a living host seedplant, typically a tree or shrub. Spores will not germinate on normal agar medias intended for saprophytic species. A slim chance of successful cultivation might be achieved by placing spores near the roots of a host plant seedling and then planting it in a suitable area and climate.

So in order to make this grow indoors, one would need to have the hosplant in ther growspace too. Now the next question would be how big of a rootsystem is required for the mycelium to grow and fruit. If a small tree would suffice, then there is some point in trying.

But the method described on the page seems meant to be used for outdoors cultivation. If there are already amanitas growing in the area, one can just chop some of them up and bury them under a proper host tree. This is propably a more reliable way to "plant" amanitas to a specific location than using spores.

But if you have more information on the subject or have done this succesfully yourself, I'd be really interested. Where I live we are lucky enough to have A. Muscaria growing wild and plentiful but the theory interests me.

I have some amanita spores for determination of wild amanita's. but I doubt they can be used for growing. I've got a hunch that the amanita muscaria needs more than just the right tree to grow. but I cant explain this hunch..

Viaticus ,what I ment was thats it's possible for buying the spores...

in answer to

I dont think they are for sale

Sorry I wasn't clear in my answer.

Ah, I misunderstood you, I apologize. Maybe I should try to make some prints from the local amanitas myself in the autumn in case someone would like to experiment with different growing methods.
