Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Trip

In this post I'm going to go deeper into what different type of trips you may experience while on the amanita muscaria. For me personally, I see things, I laugh alot more, I feel dissociated at times. There are many different feelings as with most other drugs, depending on when you ingest it. It usually takes well over an hour to kick in, kinda like extacy, every time even now, I think I'm getting ripped off because it takes so long to start working, but once it does, I no longer feel that way haha. When it starts taking effect I usually get a little tired, I would suggest having some coffee/energy drink/stimulants/uppers in general ready to go if you're worried about falling asleep and missing out on some of your trip. Once you get past the tired phase, that's when shit gets crazy. The whole world seems different, its extremely hard to explain, but everything feels very different, and my point of view on life in general feels different. Different emotions will take co...

Similarities Betweem Christmas Decorations and Santa Claus with the Fly Agaric

Amanita muscaria mushrooms are on Christmas cards & New Year cards all across the globe as a symbol of prosperity to its reader. The ethnobotanist Jonathan Ott has suggested that the idea of Santa Claus & custom of hanging stockings over the hearth is largely based on the Amanita muscaria mushroom itself. With Santa Claus's white and red color scheme of his suit, his opinion is that Santa Claus's suit is related to the mushroom. He also sees similarities with flying reindeer: reindeer had been noted to eat the fly agaric & run around while appearing to be under the influence a short period afterwords. American ethnopharmacologist Scott Hajicek-Dobberstein, researching feasible links between religious beliefs & the mushroom, remarks, "If Santa Claus had but one eye [like Odin], or if magic urine had been an element of his legend, his connection to the Amanita muscaria would be much simpler to accept." The connection was, later on, published in an articl...

Descripition Of The Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Mushroom

So its just about shroom season so I thought I would post what a good description of what a fly agaric mushroom looks like. I DO NOT condone finding them for use of human consumption, because if you are wrong, you could die. When Fly Agaric mushrooms first sprout they look like little eggs. If you take the mushroom apart at this stage and take a look under the veil you will see a yellow tint through the veil. When the Amanita Muscaria is fully grown the red cap is usually 8-20 centimeters in diameter. It will have small white or yellow warts on the cap. The spore sprint is white, as well as the free gills. At the bottom of the bulb it will have veil remnants which creates 2-4 rings. Between the bottom veil remnants and the the gills are more veil remnants which will form the description of a white ring. Very basic description, I'll update will more detail eventually, hopefully you enjoyed the read.

Growing Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria) Mushrooms

So first, is it possible to grow your own Fly Agaric mushroom? Well, technically, yes, would you be able to though, very likely the answer to that would be no. Amanita Muscaria mushrooms are what is considered a symbiotic plant, meaning that it forms a mutual relationship with another organism that allows it to grow. The most common tree you will find them under is the birch tree. You would have to be very lucky to actually plant your own next to a birch tree for example and have them bond together, and have the mushroom grow and become edible. I would just stick to buying them online if I were you. I buy my fly agaric or amanita muscaria mushrooms from Herbal Fire Botanicals . They seem to have the best quality, as well as great customer support and quick shipping.

Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Legal Status

United States Laws Currently in the United States it is legal to posses Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) mushrooms. Although legal to posses it is not legal for consumption... So if you're in the States and happen to have a few Fly Agaric shrooms on you, don't go walking to your nearest police station and start eating them in the parking lot. (: Other Countries Australia: Currently there is a bit of confusion on amnita muscara's legal status in Australia. So if you're an Aussie I can't help you there, sorry! England: Pretty much the same laws apply in the UK as in the United States. France: It is not a controlled substance in France. Greece: You're good to trip as it is not a controlled substance in Greece. Italy: Not a controlled substance in Italy. Romania: It is ILLEGAL in Romania to posses, or congest Fly Agaric Shrooms. ): Switzerland: Fly Agaric is not controlled in Switzerland. Hope this is useful to people worrying about its legal status.

Amanita Pantherina Caps

Amanita pantherina is similar to other fly agaric mushrooms except it has a brownish or yellowish brown cap that is covered with white warts. The only legit Amanita pantherina is supposedly only found in certain European parts of the world. Although it is sometimes found in North America. Besides the brown cap with white warts, the identifying features of Amanita pantherina include the collar-like roll of volval tissue at the top of the basal bulb, and the elliptical, inamyloid spores. Arena Ethnobotanicals is one of the few sites that commonly have them in stock. You can look here to see if they do. Amanita pantherina is also sometimes referred to as the Panther Cap , in case anyone was wondering.
