Anybody grow the Amanita Muscaria?

I never grew shrooms before, just researching it last few weeks and I did read the excellent post here by canndo. So I was just curious if there were anything to do different growing the Amanita Muscaria? Any tips would be appreciated.

My understanding is that you can't grow amanita muscaria indoors. It grows alongside the live roots of birch trees and oak trees.
It needs the roots to give it certain nutrients. I made up some spore water a few years ago and sprinkled the water around in a piece of woodland where there is lots of silver birch, but it seems no mushrooms grew there from that spore water as far as I could tell.
I think amanita muscaria is just one of those mushrooms that you have to find growing wild, just like liberty cap mushrooms (psilocybe semilanceata). There are a few types of psilocybin mushrooms that you can quite easily get spores for online, that grow easily enough indoors, but you have to keep everything very clean and sterile until the grow medium is fully colonised.

Yeah I was thinking of doing indoors too. Interesting I am getting the liquid culture if this helps. But any outdoor advice I would be interested in also. Is it too late in the year for that? I guess I need to research this way more.

I don't think anyone grows it indoors or at all like they said it's always tied to a symbiotic relationship with a couple of tree species honestly you would be better growing cubensis or if your outdoors one of the other wood lovers you would have more success than way anyway where I live you can occasionally find aminata muscaria in the wild i never heard of anyone growing them though just like liberty caps that way there tied to decaying grass no one cultivates them
