Any one grow fly agaric on brown rice and vermiculite?

It is a mycorhizzal species and as such cannot be cultivated to the fruition stage. The best you can hope for is to start the mycelium on agar and put it on grain. Make a slurry and pour that on the roots of a suitable host tree.

I have seen aminita fruit in many different locations. It may not be micorrhizal specific to any one tree. Or Maybie not even a tree. Bacteria may play a role as well. If you can get it to grow on spawn I would try to inoculate a patch under pines.

Know of any reputable dealers who would have spore prints ect?

Here is an interesting site; ambrosiasociety.org/

They descibe how to grow a "white fleece" on grape juice in three days by sprinkling a pinch of powdered amanita on grapejuice,
which i imagine is amanita mycelium growing... i've tried and it works... Could this possibly be a way to start an amanita culture?

Sounds quite interesting

I have heard that the "white fleece" turned out to be mucol, according to people at the shroomery. However, I've also heard that this mucol has the same effect as amanita, and one theory is that the mucol lives on/within the amanita and is responsible for the muscinol production.
So be careful, the white fleece isn't very well studied. I attempted the same thing, but was too scared to do anything with the fleece. Maybe someone could do a thin layer chromatography on the fleece, to see what's actually in it.
