Amanita muscaria for sale is a widespread and highly noticeable mushroom found in temperate regions of the northern and southern hemispheres. Commonly known as the Fly agaric or Fly amanita, this iconic large red mushroom, with its white spots, is one of the most recognizable fungi in popular culture. Illustrations of A. muscaria mushrooms fill many children’s books, forming associations with magic, fairies, and the illusory world of the imagination.
The idea of this red and white spotted mushroom being able to imbue magical powers or cause transformation is strikingly represented in the context of the Nintendo game “Mario Brothers” and more subtly in Alice in Wonderland (or less subtly in recent film adaptations!). There is a broad mycological literature describing its use and cultural significance, with theories of its appearance among the Viking berserkers , the druids of Europe, the ancient Hindu text the Rig Veda, the shamans of Siberia, cave paintings, and into the depths of time. It is the archetypal mythological fungus.
What is Amanita muscaria?
Amanita muscaria (L.) Lam. (1783) is a Basidiomycete fungus from the Genus Amanita. It is formally classified within the Class Agaricomycetes, Order Agaricales, Family Amanitacea [12,13]. The Fly agaric is a large conspicuous mushroom; its red cap with white warts are a vivid contrast against the green and brown of the birch and pine forests where it grows.
Amanita muscaria mushrooms are often found in large groups, usually with examples of all stages of development. When the mushroom is fully mature, the bright red cap (pileus) is approximately 8–20 cm (3–8 in) in diameter. It is typical for the red coating on the cap to fade after rain, particularly with older mushrooms. The gills (lamellae) are white, with a free attachment (meaning they are not attached to the stem), with a white spore print. The stem (stipe) is white, 5–20 cm (2.0–7.9 in) high by 1–2 cm (0.5–1 in) thick, with a slightly brittle, fibrous texture, cylindrical, hollow, with a bulbous base.
Amanita spp. grow from the soil around the base of trees, forming an egg-like structure just under the surface; as the mushroom grows, it breaks apart the protective tissue. This protective membrane that encloses the mushroom is referred to as the “universal veil”. After emerging, the cap is covered with numerous small white pieces of tissue, commonly referred to as warts. The cap changes from globose to hemispherical, and finally to flat, sometimes upturned in mature specimens. In some cases, rain washes away the warts from the cap before the cap has fully expanded. As the cap opens, the partial veil falls away, leaving an annulus or “skirt”. The base of the mushroom is enclosed in the cup-like remains of the “universal veil” which is referred to as the volva.
Is Amanita muscaria psychedelic?
Despite Amanita Muscaria For Sale having very strong psychedelic associations in popular culture, it would not be considered psychedelic based on the formal definition. Most compounds considered psychedelic are structurally related to the neurotransmitters serotonin or dopamine (which are 5-HT2A agonists) —for example, the “classic” psychedelics, LSD, psilocybin/psilocin, and mescaline.
Amanita muscaria and the related species Amanita pantherina are, however, considered entheogens. By virtue of its psychoactive effects, A. muscaria is often referred to as a “magic mushroom”, but compared to psilocybin-containing mushrooms, the effects are very different. Amanita Muscaria For Sale does not contain psilocybin or psilocin. The active compounds in this mushroom are muscimol and ibotenic acid, with muscimol (a selective agonist for the GABAA receptor) having a sedative, depressant, and deliriant effect .
Experience
What to expect
Intoxication results from the ingestion of one to four mushrooms of Amanita Muscaria For Sale, with effects beginning within 15 minutes to one hour. Half to one mushroom is considered a low dose (1 – 5 g), with three being the more common dose (5 – 10 g). The main effects may last from four to eight hours, with no significant after-effects. Physical coordination and basic motor skills may be significantly impaired, with some involuntary twitching, drowsiness, sweating, pupil dilation, and increased body temperature. Adverse psychological experiences are also known to occur, with reports of individuals trapped in self-repeating time-loops, visual perception being paused, changes in perception of size, and visionary experiences.
The main psychoactive compound in A. muscaria is muscimol. Many individuals report that the Fly agaric experience can be a positive one, with feelings of euphoria, and a sense of being within a dream-like space. Some visual and auditory effects may be experienced, as well as physical sensations resembling tingling or being touched. Visual effects include the perception of objects or the self appearing either magnified or shrunken. Sometimes, the experience becomes very dissociative, with a lack of awareness of surroundings for several hours.
Care should be taken to prepare the mushrooms properly by thoroughly drying them either in a food dehydrator or oven at a low temperature. The mushrooms should never be eaten raw as this may result in gastrointestinal effects, adverse effects from the ibotenic acid, or allergies to uncooked mushroom proteins.
EFFECTS
Amanita muscaria for sale has a wide range of effects, from euphoria and ataxia (difficulty balancing) to sensory alterations, particularly alterations of hearing, taste, and perspective. A. muscaria may also produce cholinergic symptoms, such as “profuse salivation and mild perspiration” .
Fly agaric can be taken at various doses, starting with one half to a whole dried mushroom (1 – 5 g), with three being the more common dose (5 – 10 g). At medium to higher doses (10 – 30 g), the main cognitive effects often include:
- Looping: when an individual becomes stuck in a looping or repetitive behavior or thought pattern, such as experiencing the same moment over and over again.
- Frame reduction: using the example of modern films or cartoons, these run at 25 frames a second. The experience of frame reduction is as though your perception is limited to one frame per second or less.
- Size distortions: as described in Alice in Wonderland, things seem smaller or larger.
- Feelings of strength: a sense of feeling much stronger than you are.
- Visionary dreams.
- A sensation of flying.
The physiological effects from A. muscaria may include:
- Loss of coordination: feeling drunk, falling over, not being able to respond suddenly to things.
- Muscle twitching: random muscle twitches at varying degrees.
- Gastrointestinal distress, including nausea and vomiting.
Amanita muscaria for sale is also known to sometimes contain muscarine. It is present in the mushroom in such small amounts it is generally treated as insignificant. Despite this, it is important to be aware of its effects, especially when consuming fly amanita in higher doses. Specifically, symptoms of muscarine poisoning may include increased salivation, sweating, and lacrimation (crying). Symptoms can also include gastrointestinal distress, confusion, euphoria, loss of muscular coordination, decreased blood pressure, profuse sweating and chills, visual distortions, and a feeling of strength. Effects appear rapidly (within 15 minutes to two hours) and typically last for several hours.
What does an Amanita muscaria “trip” feel like?
Depending on what you read or who you talk to, the “trip” can vary widely. As with many naturally occurring psychoactive compounds, there will be variability in the fungi, from preparation and individual response. The cognitive effects may become apparent within half an hour but usually take an hour. The duration seems to be anywhere from four to ten hours.
Shortly after consumption, there may be drowsiness or a need to sleep, leading to the urge to lie down and rest or sleep. Sometimes there may be a feeling of nausea, along with trembling, sweating, and a mild sense of dissociation. These side effects might result from small amounts of muscarine, a cholinergic toxin affecting muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
The sleep stage is light, and individuals may often be partly aware of surrounding sounds. In this phase, the central nervous system effects of the mushrooms may become apparent, with strange lucid dreams occurring. After an hour or two, some people awake to a sense of having awoken to a different world—things appear the same, yet undeniably different in an inexplicable way… down the rabbit hole and into wonderland!
