Some thoughts about cultivating liberty caps

So, I tried to search for this, but I couldn't find it.
I find some people have tried to cultivate liberty caps indoors, but they cannot get very good yields and its very hard. And I have seen some people claim they have just spread some spores/live mushroom in their backyard and hoped for the best, of course in a very uncontrolled environment, I cannot find if they got any good results.
What I wonder is, why not try to grow grass and caps indoors in a controlled environment? As in, use a grow-box with grass in it, or just a pot of it.
Of course there is a lot of things that could go wrong about it, most likely you will just get a low yield. 
BUT, that being said there is some good things about this!
Liberty caps are very resistant and also able to repress other types of fungi (according to all-knowing Wikipedia), meaning that once you have managed to get some caps to grow properly you might be free to do quite a lot of experiments. Maybe adding unnatural high amount of nutrients etc. since it is good at repressing other fungi and mold it should be able to prevent molding in the pot or grow box you use to grow the grass in. Since it is a controlled environment you could control the shade, temperature and moisture all year around, making it fruit in regular intervals, possibly giving you a higher yield. Bottom line: Once you are able to grow it indoors, you might be able to create an environment for it, where it grows better than in a grass-field.
I have had this idea for some time now and I would love to test this out, but my current living situation does not permit me to do so, and I cannot find anything about someone who has tried it. So if there is anyone who has tried or willing to try it, please let me know, I am curious about the results!

I tried a few months ago on rye grain and couldn't get it to germinate from a ms syringe, you have lots of research and agar work ahead of you my friend temps are differnt and I'd try some differnt spawns too. I'll be trying again when I can get some fresh ones make a clone atleast to give me a standing chance of colonization for experiments with differnt substrates. Good luck bro

That was interesting to look at, unfortunately it got destroyed for him, and I cannot find any more recent updates. This only makes me want to try it more!
