amanitas muscaria propagation

I have a few acres with a lot of young birch and aspen. recently I've come across a nice patch of amanitas muscaria var. formosa around some birch trees.
I'm wondering what any of you think about propagating this mushroom around other birch patches. is it as simple as breaking up mushroom caps where I'd like them to grow? or is it more complicated.
I've read that amanita muscaria will only grow around certain trees, but I've never read why that is.
any help is appreciated, thanks

the why is because of a mycorrhizal relationship between the plant and mushroom.(fungus mycelia/plant root relationship), in which the plant roots and fungus benefit nutritionally from each other.
being that amanita produces a carpophore, i would venture a guess as to say that you could take a print, do agar, grain spawn, etc.
but i dont know for sure, and to be honest, i think amanita cultivation questions are off limits. im not totally sure on this though, so if any mods or others wanna back me up or correct me?

thanks for the info. that helps me out.
sorry if that's a taboo question. didn't know that. I just like the way these mushrooms look and I'd like to see more of them.

Yeah the easy way would be to scatter some caps pieces under the new host tree, pine or birch.

Where I live, mushroom hunters spread the wild Lactarius sanguifluus by blending a load of caps in a blender. Then they dig a 6 inch deep trench in a circle 2-3 metres around the trunk of the tree they want to inoculate and pour the blended cap mixture into the hole and cover.
Add a bit of water into the blender.
