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.
if you get amanita pantherina.....make tea. its the best way ive found cause it ensures the high amount of ibotenic acid gets converted to muscimol so theres no nausea or vomiting, just that disconnected happy feeling you get from amanitas, just drank a cup of it and im feeling pretty good :)
