Porcini Inoculation of Seedlings: Experiment

Righto guys, here we go. This will be a long based thread that I will update as the months and years pass.
Where I live, I cannot find a host tree for porcinis. It's just not a possibility. I have two options, travel interstate where the first fresh porcini mushrooms ever found in my country are and spend what could be half of my life searching for the spot to gather seedlings around the host trees, or try a little experiment.
I can only get fresh porcini mushrooms.
I know trees with myco based fungi are inoculated in a lab setting with varying degrees of success, this speaks true when looking at truffle plantations which are earning good success with a deliberate, non-natural setup.
My goal here is to determine if prolonged contact to spores during a seedling phase of a tree will eventually yield some form of end product related to what I have sewn. I will be adding the spores into the substrate in a simple slurry, blended up well.
This isn't a one time thing, I am looking at this much at how you would add mycorrhizal fungi in a vegetable setting. The best time to utilize these fungi in said setting is during transplantation or seedling growth, with several other inoculations proceeding this, leading me to believe it's crucial to not only continually expose the seedling to doses of spores on a prolonged setting, but it's also crucial to do it at certain aspects of the plants life.
Whether this proves to be true will be exposed fully in this article. If you guys have research that is close to what I am doing I will be interested in checking that out, it will not however thwart me from my attempt at doing this, due to me always assuming control measures aren't the same with each person.
I should also note, I will never, ever water this plant with chlorinated water. And upon seedling hatch the fungi will be used as soon as roots begin to form.
Wish me luck guys
