Please keep us in the loop. I tried something similar with noble fir and amanitas in ‘23. No mushrooms sprouted in ‘24 but fingers are crossed for some this Fall.

Nice group of cinnabar chanterelles the yellow ones will be out soon if not now.
"Like" for the first one
for the second one.

Found it out by my trees, but my kids won't help me look for the mushroom book we bought a couple years ago.

It is very complicated to force a specific mycorrhizal mycelium to colonize a container with a tree It’s also possible to have the specific mycorrhizal and it not fruit. The relationship starts early on in the tree’s life. Disrupting the colony could easily kill the collected mycelium. Some actually flourish through disruptions. From what I know they aren’t mycorrhizal really.
I really think Russula and Laccaria from what I’ve read are more successful in containers. I’ve seen them grow in them. They are also very cool looking! Most of what we see are saprotrophic such as mycena.
I wish you luck and would love to see success from your experiments!

Not sure what these are but they popped up in my bald cypress pots this spring and are still hanging on. As you can see from the size of the moss they are very tiny.

hard to know for certain. But I think orange mosscap is the generic name and that really fits the theme! So many mushrooms look almost identical it takes dna testing to know for certain. But many basics tests together can get close if not certain on an id. There is also varieties like with trees which is cool. Same dna but different appearances and habitat.

The integration of Amanita muscaria in some of my noble fir containers has been confirmed.

Does anyone have experience inoculating their soil with these?
Found growing underneath Abies procera and Pseudotsuga menziesii.
I’d like to incorporate them into a few Abies pots. The plan is to mix collected mycelium soil into bonsai mix and place caps on soil at base of trees. Unless there is a better way…

I was looking for this thread to post on a couple weeks ago.

Depends entirely on what sort of fairy you believe in.

I remember this thread. So many factors can lead to failure. Any change in homeostasis can easily kill it or cause it to be killed by bacteria or fungus. It’s possible they don’t fruit also.The integration of Amanita muscaria in some of my noble fir containers has been confirmed.

I think when we remove an conifer (past 3 year or so) we take whatever relationship it has already with it. Aminita muscaria make up a large part of the symbiotic relationships in the pnw for a single mushroom. But a small amount when you factor the hundreds of other symbiotic fungi. Possibly 400+. I think if you ever see some fruiting. Try to remove the closest sapling or even seedling with plenty of soil. Then you already know it’s connected to the roots and the relationship occurring. Now it’s a question if aminita will live in a pot.
I know - if I found a fairy ring in my yard I would go in it so many times a day, until I finally portaled somewhere.

Are you trying to Rip Van Winkle yourself?
Welsh culture to find a fairy ring was a sign of good luck. These fairy rings are believed to be gateways to the land of fey.

That's what I heard, but also that you can never trust fairies. No telling what they might do, so just let them do their own thing.
