r/AmanitaMuscaria

I was gifted some amanita that was already dried out properly and I would like to make some tea to try it out.

I would also like to make a topical or a non-alcohol based extraction (or something) for pain relief. Since I have herniated discs in my neck.

If I could be given any direction, that would be amazing. I have been watching videos on YouTube. But I'd like to actually hear from people and engage.

I wish I had saved some of the writing I’ve come across over the years into the differences between the two. The general idea is that pantherina has a different ratio of ibo to muscimol. And panthers are generally stronger in muscimol, I really wonder from personal experience if the panthers have something else in them. I have had a number of experiences on them, my last time was absolutely fucked, I don’t know if it would be the same if I took a equivalent dose of muscaria. I don’t even want to share what happened. But it was truly a nightmare, loops of things that happened and then like very realistic hallucinations in which I was murdered. Needless to say it was a shit show and I freaked out. It sort of reminded me more of a what I would read about with datura trips than amanita. Thoughts?

Edi: I took a high dose of underprepared pantherinoides because I like the ibotenic acid so I'm aware of the toxicity

Anybody know get the muscle spasms and know how to stop them? its so damn annoying😭

Hi everyone, I wanted to get the community's take on the advice I received.

​I recently started a microdosing course using a blend of Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and Amanita Muscaria. I’m currently on Day 2, and for both days, I’ve been experiencing significant stomach and intestinal pain.

When i asked to company, the response was that this is a "normal expression of the inner world" and the body's way of "cleansing accumulated negativity." They claim this "purging" process takes about 7-10 days and I should just "listen to my body" and keep going.

​How correct is this information? Is it true that physical pain during this process are just "negativity leaving the body," or is this a dangerous medical red flag? I’d appreciate any insights or experiences with this.

Hey, i have some dried specimens i picked and dried in November that id like to experiment with. I dried at about 50C for ~24h so according to some guides it should already be abt 30% decarbed(?) Then my guess is that i have to futher the decarboxylation by boiling in acidic water? How long? How much should i decarb when i want to use it for aiding my sleep? And how much should i take? This is my first time trying amanita. Im thinking of boiling it either way to extract IBO and MUC and then freeze the rest in ice cubes for later

So I lightly boiled some 100 Fahrenheit degree dried 20 grams of the caps fro. Amentara in half water half lemon around 30 to 40 mins and drunk7.5 grams worth.

Whne I drunk half of it one gulp I felt it and the feeling of something bigger kept creeping on me for about 2 hrs. During that time I just drew and got sleepy so slept at around the 2 hr mark. Didnt remebered my dreams or anything. I just felt very relaxed and little bit goofy.

This was first time drinking anything like this. Did I boiled too long is this normal for this range of dosage? Thinking of taking 15 grams or little mor this weekend to get that "shamanic" experience.
