Spreading to pine plantations.
    #14310755 - 04/18/11 07:48 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hello all.

Amanita muscaria does not currently grow in my area. I was wondering if it was possible to somehow spread spores around in some local pine tree plantations, and what would be the most efficient way of doing this. I can get spore prints sent to me no problem, all I want to do is spread the love to my local area.

Thanks :smile:

If it doesn't grow there at all, it probably is not going to.
If it just doesn't grow right where you are, the spores should get things going sooner or later.
Might be better to clone a fruitbody and make spawn.

But A. muscaria isn't easy. Why not grow cubensis?

Amanita muscaria is not native to my state. That doesn't mean it can't grow here, it just hasn't had a chance to spread here.

I don't think there's a way of me legally obtaiing cubensis spores.

For now, I'm just happy with trying to spread this gorgeous mushroom.

Thanks, but they are actually illegal in Australia... :frown:

I won't be able to purchase them.

Illegal to import new species there, but legal to possess spores for microscopy. :wink:

Yes, but not in my state (Western Australia).

Psilocybe subaeruginosa grows here, but 4 hours drive down south in a forest heavily guarded by police looking for shroom hunters. not worth the risk going down there.

When you get the spores, you might try soaking the roots of some young local native pine trees in a spore solution for a few days before planting the trees.  You can also pour spore solution out around the existing trees, but I'd speculate the former will deliver better chances of success.

Pine trees aren't native here. I have to go to pine plantations and I think they are all full sized trees, no young ones.

wherever there is old pines there are young ones trust me ... they just never reach maturity over the fight for ground space ... dig some up by the roots and supplant them somewhere using the method RR just mentioned ...

Why does the root method work better than say, just getting a water gun full of spore water and shooting around the forest like crazy?

you want to localize youre inoculation points as much as possible for best chance of success ... this is outdoors not in a controlled environment like inside a sterile jar ... there are going to be competing microorganisms at work ... most of which would be happy to consume your sparsely dispersed spores ...

double boil some distilled water in a jar with a injection port made ( picture jar of said water sitting in pot of boiling tap water ) wait till it cools and suck into a sterile syringe in a GB .. use a small receptacle like a shot glass , sterilized , disperse your available spores into glass and inject the water into the glass from your syringe and draw it back up ... then apply is as you need ...

Hmm nice. You don't get much spore water this way do you... Can it be diluted?

The most common method is to just toss the caps or sporeprints of your desired species into a five gallon bucket of non-sterile tap water.  Let them sit for a few days and dump onto the ground near trees, or soak your young tree roots in it.  I think Stamets recommends putting a bit of salt into the water to discourage bacteria, but I haven't ever used it.  I'm trying to get a Boletus patch going here.

That method sounds easier :smile:

I really want this to work. It's difficult enough to get the spores over to this state...
