    @Nico-dq8hc 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    the active compounds are mostly in the skin. so to harvest i just peel the red skins off the biggest ones, with out breaking or up rooting them so they still finish growing . then make tincure using 5 to 10 dryed grams, this is a great antianflamatory to add to oil for a rub or compress for joint pain .. or add that syrup to 1gram of dry skins and fully dehydrate (higher alcohol% dry faster) . add this to smoking blend its very relaxing and mild . or put in capsules to experience its presents, no pee drinking or gut issues ;).

      - Would you like to see one of God's greatest gifts to mankind. She may not be as great a gift as God's Son but she is wonderful.
      If I describe her as I normally do you might think she is obese and ugly. Beautiful women come in all sizes shapes and colors. She has the best personality and sense of humor. Her main goal in life is to make people laugh very hard. She is very good at that. She loves to entertain people and is very good at her job. I think she is world class as far as her job is concerned and in almost all aspects of her being.
      Check out Lettice Rowbotham. She will probably never be as beautiful outside as she is inside but she is gorgeous. Watch her BGT audition first, the long version shows how funny she is. It is 6:03 in length.
      Let me know what you think. I hope she is as big a blessing in your life as she has been in mine. If you like her please share her videos and spread her name all over the internet. She deserves more subs and views on her channel.

    I'll take this as a good portent Yarrow. On the 25th of December, I found a mature amanita just outside my door on Christmas day. I'm guessing it was 4 days old, I.E. a solstice mushroom. I've done lots of research but never tried them. 20 minutes ago I ate 2 well dried grams, the whole cap. Ten minutes ago I found the video. This minute I can feel my baseline shifting. A few minutes from now I'm going for a stroll in the woods. Peace my man.

    The desire to give presence/presents to people is one of the most ancient of pure forms of love for others. These particular mushrooms tend to grow in the rainy nothern areas but I live in south west florida and years ago when picking stropharia cubensis mushrooms in a cow pasture I saw a lone amanita muscaria over by some trees. The guy posting is right because it had a strong presence and I was captivated by it but not about to touch it. It's good so much more info is available on them now.

    The center pole of the teepe/yurt-like tent also represented the world tree which grew at the center of the Universe, and shamans would leave and enter on their out-of-body journeys through the smoke hole. The world-tree at the center of their lodge and universe was like an elevator to higher realms. THe spine in the human body also represents the world tree and we exit through our crown when we want to go to the higher realms. I didn't know about that being the winter entrance though. Learn something everyday. Thank you Yarrow!

      Amanita Phalloides also known as the Death Cap, is deadly poisonus mushroom.. It cointains Phallotoxins and Amatoxins however when used in safe amounts on humans it can become life saving
      Amanita tumor therapy was developed from a genetic study in Drosophila, followed by molecular and cytological studies, and biochemical study in human leukaemic cells. Beginning with the theory design in 1989, the whole study was finished in 2004, resulting in the awareness, that Amanita phalloides exctacts can break tumor cells. Further adjuvant therapies are in case studies. Lyme disease can be treated with Terebinthina laricina. Autoimmunity can be prevented with essential fatty acids.

    You have a fine sense of humour. I knew a little about the stories involving this mushroom, but the ones you shared are great. Happy Solstice!

    When the reindeer ate this mushroom they were considered fit to work for Santa Claus 😊

    I was told that the christmastree was in fact a old tradition to celebrate winter solstice. The Tree branches were put in and outside the house to get rid of evil ghosts and to welcome Freya the godess of spring and life(Germans, before christ). Romans welcomed Mithras the God of the Sun in a similiar way by using Laurel. This was the BC "Happy new year" basicly.

    Your story rings true. wonder how else this one maybe prepared as i have no reindeer to pee it out for me lol ... open to suggestions. Probably drying them would be a good start eh?

      Dry using heat, your oven with the door open on 170F. Then you can make a tincture. Put caps only in a pot and cover with distilled water until the caps are just covered and boil for 30 mins. Pour the water in a jar. It should be very concentrated. I start with 1/8 teaspoon and let 30 mins pass. If I don't get nauseous I take another 1/8. Go from there. This way you remove the whole idea that each one has different strengths. The tincture means it's all the same strength.
      To eat them as food, boil for 15 to 20, then sautee in butter.
      Add teaspoon of vodka to tincture to keep it from going bad, store in fridge.
