Growing Amanita muscaria indoors, at least I’m trying.

[Yugambeh]

Hi all,

I’m trying to grow some Amanita muscaria.

It’s said to be impossible, I like impossible :twisted:

Presumably you mean A. muscaria

Do they typically grow under Abies spp. in your area?

I've found them growing under Quercus, Tilia and Betula, particularly the last.


Nice Coleus, btw!

They're 'impossible' to get to fruit indoors, but you can grow the mycelium (which is also psychoactive) fairly easily (supposedly). Specifically, there are instructions for making 'ambrosia' where the mycelium grow from a dried mushroom to form a 'fleece' in your nutrient-rich liquid. I've always wondered if growing in fruit juice (as some do) ends up decarboxylating ibotenic acid in the container.

Anyways, sorry for the tangent if it's not pertinent. Good luck!

I already have some Ambrosia brewing

What made you choose to try it indoors instead of outside? They do not exactly seem to mind cold weather.

Hi,

It’s winter here soon, up to -15-20 degrees Celsius and thick with snow

I see, you want to be able to harvest throughout the year. Ambitious.

Got some mycelium growth in my Pf-tek tub.

The mycelium cake is under the soil, day 2 and mycelium is growing through the top layer soil.

Update? How did this pan out for you?

I, too, am interested

Triple bump! I'm wondering about the top layer of soil. I've seen A.M. twice or three times in the wild, and each one had a "casing" layer of pine-needles and leaves on top. I'm wondering what causes them to fruit in the wild, and what we'd do to reproduce that. Anyway, update us!

From what I've studied I can tell you that if you have success you will probably have one after many years of the mushrooms being associated with the tree. I could be wrong of course. I don't know for indoors - I know there was success in outdoor experiments inoculating the trees with the mushrooms.

Great that you are experimenting!

Sorry guys I have been integrating for a time and not been much online.

Well I came up one morning and it was covered with Trichoderma:x


I'm waiting for nexty season of Amanita's to grow and I will try to take a spore print and make a syringe, inoculate grain and use pasturized substrate this time:twisted:
