Other Drying Methods for the Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Mushrooms

You'll need a wire mesh screen. First cut the wire mesh screen small enough to fit in the oven but large enough to hold the mushrooms you plan on drying. Next place the mushrooms on top of the screen with enough room between each amanita for air to vent. Now place the screen into the oven, with the door of the oven open slightly. Set your oven to bake at the lowest temperature possible. Leave them in for about an hour, then remove them along with the screen. Allow them to cool at room temperature, if you want to save some place them in a sealed bag. Now you can smoke or eat them. Have fun, be safe.

Drying Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Mushrooms and Another Tea Recipe

You should never ingest Amanita Muscaria shrooms raw. When they are dried it turns the Ibotenic acid into Muscimol, which is the substance that makes you trip in the Fly Agaric. Also Ibotenic acid is mildly toxic. Now instructions on how to dry Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric) Mushrooms. The easiest way and the way that I have done it in the past is to first grind up the mushroom, as your doing this start heating up some water on the stove. Let it get to about 190 degrees. Let it cook for about 30-45 minutes. Be careful to not let the water get too hot, try to keep it under 200 degrees, so you don't ruin the mushroom. Once you're done with this... you're done. Drink the water down once it gets cool enough. You could also make it into a tea. Another way to make a drinkable tea out of Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria) Mushrooms is to first add an actual tea bag. I personally like to add 2 kava tea bags, which you can buy at Target if you're in the US. Normally it's not in lo...

What Makes Up The Amanita Muscaria Shroom And How Each Substance Affects You

The 3 chemicals that affect the body in fly agaric are: Muscimol, Ibotenic Acid, and Muscarine. The main chemical out of those that makes you trip is Muscimol. Muscimol will mainly affect your GABA receptor as a GABA A agnostic. Other drugs also target the same receptor such as xanax. Obviously you don't feel like you're on xanax when you eat amanita muscaria mushrooms though. Muscimol is a inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means it decreases the electrochemical activity of neurons, which is mostly what causes you to feel the way you do while on fly agaric. Ibotenic Acid does not play a particularly big role in affecting you. When ingested it is partially metabolized into muscimol, but is not believed to cross the blood brain barrier. Thus its effects are minimal. Muscarine affects acetylcholine levels and acts at muscarinic receptors, which got its name from this chemical. This causes you to have stimulation of the muscles, glands, and central nervous system. Those are the ma...
