Amanita Muscaria and substrates

Hey everyone! I was doing reading recently, I believe the book was Plants of the Gods. Anyways, the book described how A. Muscaria only is able to fruit when root cells of birch, oak, or a few other trees are present in the substrate. It went on to describe that its because of a sort of symbiotic relationship (it used a rather long word that i can't remember that started with the prefix di-). Now, has anyone tried growing these guys that could confirm this? I was hoping to try my hand at it, and figured that I could just use wood chips, but if root cells are actually necessary, that might be a pain.

yeah you need live root cells... so probably would need to have a live tree in your substrate. 
people don't grow 'em indoors

The only way I've read to cultivate these is to find them in the wild, chop them up, and bury them in a shallow hole near a tree it grows with. I'm pretty sure the whole thing is up to luck, hope it works out for you

i thought i saw one about a year ago, and now that i've read this it makes me even more curious. would they grow in the same conditions as cubensis?
