Inoculating tree seedlings with mycorhizal strains?

Anybody in Florida ever think to try inoculating a lemon seedling with Boletus abruptibulbus? Is that even a mycorrhizal strain?

I've heard on the forum somewhere that some Japanese scientist did it with amanita muscaria years ago with indoor trees/saplings. I'm growing out like 20+plates of amanita muscaria var. guessowii right now on agar(very aggressive myc, fully colonized plats from stem clones in less than 8 days) and plan on taking the agar wedges and digging by tamarack/pine/fir trees and introducing the chunks near the roots and seeing if they come up where previously they had not. They grow by the hundreds in the Minden City Swamp(gigantic peat bog with tamarack trees and blueberry bushes and not much else) here on MI. tons of chanterelles out there too.
I'd love to know if anyone has has success with inducing these certain types of mushrooms to roots systems as well. Kind boletes are fucking tasty as hell! Good luck!

I don't know about mushrooms- but with truffles they grow the seedlings indoors for 1-2 years in a clean room. And total crop failure is an issue when competing mycorhizae infect the host trees. So that's why there's only a couple of reputable vendors in the US and they're so expensive.

Are you aiming to increase the health of the tree or just see if you can get the Boletus to do it's thing?

Yeah this sort of thing is the closest they have to Truffle "cultivation". The downside is you tend to have to wait several years before there is enough mycelial mass to support fruiting, and its bloody difficult to tell if you've had a failure in the mean time.
BUT, by all means give it a try. Worst case scenario is you plant a few trees.
