Amanita muscaria

Harvested some last weekend. Absolutely sure of the identification. Its drying out now. Anyone care to share any stories or information about this mushroom? I have never tried it.

 

erm, i thought it was deadly haha

 

Yeah man, I have always been under the impression that they are poisonous. It is a psychoactive mushroom, but the psychoactive effects that you observe are from your brain and nervous system deteriorating. Check out the link, people there have eaten them, and I know people who have eaten them (negative experiences), but I wouldn't touch them myself.

I am positive they are muscaria. Entire civilizations revolved around this mushroom. Surely someone here has dosed up on them.

 

yer a fool if you try to figure a dose for a amanita without having a elder whom ya trust cut it out for ya..

cause ya can die.....

an then the buzz,, aint gonna be what ya expect...

but hey what do i know??

wheres stebo when you need him

 

It's like holding the devil's hand. You never know where it's going to take you :X
Don't even imagine that it's anything like psilocybe mushrooms, cause it AIN'T.
And if theres even a little doubt of their identification, which is very easy, there will be BIG trouble.

 

I knew someone who ate several. The orange ones w/white spots. He was sure of identification too. I spent the evening emptying a puke bucket, trying to keep him warm and trying to convince him to go to the hospital. He lived thru it somehow, but it did not look like any fun to me...

 

however, iv dare iz nuttin else happinin, got go with it, got 2 get high sumhow anyhow...

 

These are red with white warts, and don't have a sac at the bottom.

I think I am going to try a couple grams anyway. I am a psychic warrior (or so I think). I smoked a little mixed with MJ the other day and it was pleasant.

 

man... Amanita Muscaria var muscaria and var. formosa (red and orange ones) are not that terrible... they do hurt the liver and the central nervous system, I wont hide it... but if youre not a dumbass when it comes to drugs, you'll love the trip for sure... but remember... the more the better... but dont pass the limit ...

I also mix a small ammount of the shrooms with cannabis once in a while, its a great enhancer. Will make the high more "lucid".

 

Most people who have experimented with Amanitas have said it wasn't an experience they would try again. I don't think you know what your talking about.
I have tried it before but never did enough to get much out of it.
Saying "you'll love the trip for sure" proves you haven't a clue about amanita muscaria

 

lol... If ye want I can send you a bunch of pictures of amanita muscarias Ive picked up during the past months, dried or fresh or still even on the ground, that Ive used for consumption quite a few times... I have ordered about 7.5g from salviasupply.com twice (var muscaria) (the first time i experienced amanita mushrooms was from this website) and had eaten them all... I agree, I didnt feel well physically... and I actually felt needles on my dick that time. But I started to enjoy the psychological state more often after the first try. After a few months I decided to pick some up myself, around here theres mostly only var. formosas (yellow-orange ones), which contain a little bit more of toxins then the var muscaria, but can be neutralized into good material if properly heated. I've tried teas, dried, and smoked... done it quite often... and it does give a pleasant dreamy-like high in many cases... you just have to be well prepared before consumption... as in not eating a big meal right before ingestion , and having a good and relaxed state of mind, etc...

So please think again before insinuating one doesn't know what he's talkin about...for i know more on amanita mushrooms and their different species than you.


besides, if it was really that "dangerous"... websites such as salviasupply wouldnt be making as much profit like they already are on sales of those kinds of mushrooms... and rarely have I heard about someone dying on properly picked and dried amanita mushrooms... actually. never have i even heard about it.

 

Also... saying you've only done a small dose, that you didnt even feel any strong effects, after writing a post like this, is far more ignorant than me telling the folks if theyre prepared and smart enough to take drugs consequently, that they'll have a good time.

For I have never felt like I was holding the devil's hand either...if something, that metaphor is actually more felt on psylocibes. but great metaphor anyways

 

So you think you know more about amanitas than me. LOL ok fine... but I doubt that very much.

 

I never said that because of my experience, I said it for the reality of it

 

lol dude... I dont give a rat's ass about whom where knows the most about amanita muscaria... and at 48, I find your attitude pretty cocky. I just hate the fact you're spreading out the message that it's such a negative substance and should practically be avoided at all cost.

And how can you tell the "reality of it" if it isn't based on your perception or experience?
I read about the whackiest things in science or religions books everyday that is considered to be our limited reality... but does that make me necessarily confident enough to bias my perception on it? no... build your own critic sense of judgement.

 

It is dangerous because if the inexperienced eats the wrong one, it can kill their ass.
Thats all I'm saying to you.
have a good life :sunglasse
