nature knows a lot more than we think. i am now quite skeptical of growing amanitas indoors, being that i dont have a suitable host plant that is anything like a birch, pine, spruce and fir root system. although finding a tree outdoors or in your yard, removing some soil and direct root innoculating sounds like the easiest way to do it. it would just be waiting for the amanitas to pop up if at all.
