How does Amanita muscaria get its nutrition?


Amanita muscaria is a mushroom. Its heterotrophic, but I don't know the exact source of its energy.

Mushrooms are mycorrhizal with plants, including most Amanitas. This fungus forms ectomycorrhizal interactions with various conifers like spruce or deciduous like quaking aspen. Amanita absorbs its nutrients in part from the tree symbiont and in part from the soil. The tree provides photosynthates and other substances the plant manufactures in return for water an mineral uptake from the extensive hyphal spread the fungus provides.
