  • This is the Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) - aka the mushroom from Super Mario Brothers. It's famous, yet I think the general consensus is that you should never ever eat it. That's probably the safest thing to do, but did you know that it was used for thousands of years by our ancestors?

    Back in 1976/77 - I researched Amanita Muscaria as part of a book report on magic mushrooms for my grade 11 English class, for which I received a B+. At that time it was believed safer to consume if all the white warts were removed first. I consumed two large caps and after a few hours of no recognizable effects, went to bed, only to wake up the next morning with the memory of having the most vivid and enlightening dreams... Psilocybin on the other hand was at times an 8 hour high and could be a scary adventure for the timid, on the other hand, an incredibly insightful journey to getting to know one's self, inside and out. I was young and reckless and still walked away with some useful insight. Corporate society does not want brave, pioneering, adventuresome, healthy citizens - they want citizens that depend on pharmaceuticals and anything else they can sell you to convince you everything is good as long as you play by their rules...

      Class of '78! Me too!
      We were "reckless" at times, and I did suffer one very bad trip when another high friend snuck past our 2 sobers and spiked our drinks with some acid. They found 14, mostly desolved, mesc tabs in my drink. I had drank mine down with a swirl, it was rum & coke. Everyone else had 2 - 4 in theirs. All I could think was, "oh, this may be fun."
      About an hour later, while watching some waves crash against a wall, I kinda got swept up into their crashing pattern, and slammed myself backwards into one of the trailers that we all had rented for the weekend. Then I continued to do it until they tackled me. They forgot the "Only sobers help." Because sometimes you're not helping when you think that you are. I spent the next few hours in the dark, mostly, sinking into the bed they put me in, before I could continue the party. I think it changed my brain for the better. I could grasp ideas faster. Turn ideas into physical things. Machines, Art, and Stories is where I excelled in my life. After the Navy, I was an engineering mgr. for a major tire & rubber maker for 30 yrs. I made a lot of money with my "different" mind.
      Now, I'm retired and get to focus on tinkering, creating, and teaching my 12 grandchildren.
      I do teach them to avoid these for now, but I do teach them to is the ones that we find in my woods and elsewhere.
      I was a Scout Master for the boy Scouts, before they lost their minds. I was never religious, and it started to become a thing that I was judged for. 30+ years later and half of those boys have families and visit me regularly. Some, as much as my children.
      They are here to help my son or I with anything that I may need done. All but one left the scouts when I did, he's parents were the cub leaders.
      I taught those kids a lot about nature. The respect that they have still shows to this day.
      Well, that train took a different track. 😆

      Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!

    I've tried amanita tincture before bed. The effects were a subtle euphoria almost like being drunk. Then I fell into the deepest sleep of my life and had the most insane out of this world dreams I've ever experienced. I don't know how to describe them except they felt alien. I had a really hard time waking up. I remember it was like my consciousness was hovering over me and watching my body as it slept and I had to force myself back in to wake up. Really weird experience but not unpleasant it works as a sleep aid.

    These were the first mushrooms that I tried. I ate 4 grams of them with orange juice. My friends and I ate them in the morning. I spent the entire day swimming through a black void. I saw neon shapes in the void that called out to me. When I swam through the shapes, I would hear philosophic teachings and what felt like really, old wisdom. It was incredibly peaceful.

      Christmas comes from pagans. Santa Claus is just an anti-christ symbol because it's pagan vs Christianity. Giving people gifts, hiding his identity, his name is similar to Satan, rides a sleigh (sounds like slay), makes others work for him. The dude was designed to appear evil. But people don't think he's evil anymore I guess due to the rise of capitalism which makes people love gifts.
      I highly doubt any of this has anything to do with Magic mushrooms

    I am a natural born Alaskan and spent my first 11 years in my birthplace, Juneau, when we were still a territory. My Dad often took us schrooming and always for the great Shaggy Mane. As a wanderer, I was always in the woods exploring. One time while riding my bike, I saw thru some thicket a most Perfect Amanita I had ever come across. It was huge and beautiful and untouched by bugs yet. I couldn't stop myself as I plunged my skinny kid fingers into the very center of the cap and pulled out a pinky nail sized piece. I ate it. Me and my bike flew. Wasn't far, but we flew over that thick mass of sticks and twigs that made up that thicket. A place I couldn't ride my bike thru. Fast forward to now, and at age 68 I still remember and can recreate that wonderous flight in my head. I KNEW then and I KNOW now, I flew on my bike.

    I've got a pine forest in Australia, and it has Fly Agaric. Which is interesting as it's not native to these shores. Apparently it's been unintentionally introduced as a symbiont. But like many, I was raised to just never eat wild fungus, and particularly to avoid "the colourful ones". Which my forest is full of. I have friends who can confidently identify "safe" field mushrooms. But I'm just not into the flavor enough to pursue that knowledge. And my MM experimentation as a young bloke wasn't great. So for me, they're just pretty additions to the forest floor, that I take photos of and occasionally give a little gentle tap to ensure spore dispersal before some passing wallaby squishes it.

    Coming from an Indigenous background (Navaho) we have known for centuries of the healing properties of various natural plants including mushrooms, saliva, peyote, auhayesca to name a few. However the dominate society tended to dismiss our ceremonies that used these natural remedies as superstition and satanic rituals of a primitive non Christian heathens.
    Modern science is only now uncovering how these Indigenous medicinal plants can cure a variety of illnesses both physical, emotional and spiritually.
    I grew up attending ceremonies of the Native American Church or peyote way. It has enhanced my life and helped me cope with the evils of modern day life. People around the world are now just now beginning to understand the powerful healing ways of what we called grandmother or grandfather healing plants that our people have known for centuries.

    In terms of ID, I’d also mention the related A. pantherina and A. pantherinoides. Both are sometimes confused with muscaria, and while neither contain amatoxins, they have a lot more ibotenic acid and especially when eaten raw can mess you up quite a bit more than muscaria.

    It reminds me of my childhood, when I was with my grandma and my cousins I'm looking for mushrooms in the forest.
    Of course, I disappeared in the coniferous forest now and then in the undergrowth, because this dense undergrowth and the soft ground of dried pine needles seemed your round other world.
    Especially because the space was limited, you could move well there as a child, you adult but not.
    There I also noticed for the first time Amanita Muscari and I wondered why they always grow in the same environment, that is, in the undergrowth.
    The video is me again a little in the time moved, especially since this has awakened my interest in psychedelic fungi and plants.

    I have about a dozen different books on mushrooms.
    (Nothing like having a second or third opinion when identifying edible mushrooms.)
    Some years ago, I did a 21,000 motorcycle tour of the USA, and during that tour, I met two nice ladies, who invited me to stay in their homes.
    They both had the same book on mushrooms. Amazing coincidence. I recorded the name and bought the book!
    At one ladies place, in West Virginia, we went for an evening walk, and I saw my first and only luminous mushrooms!
    I'm now living in a ''Parc Naturel'' in France, and when I first took up residence, I used to find loads of edible mushrooms, but, they have diminished gradually to almost zero.
    There's a local woman who strips the woodland of every edible mushroom she can find, and then sells them.
    Greedy B-east!
    However, there are still plenty of Fly Agaric, as she cannot sell those. So, the next promised program will be very interesting.

    I took a heroic dose of these a few years back. It was heady like being drunk till I lost motor skills and had involuntary twitches that I felt pulse thru me, but couldn't tell where in my body it would erupt. One time trying to walk, both knees folded mid air and I crashed down on my kneecaps. I dropped a tissue and the message couldn't reach my hand to pick it up so I stared for 10 minutes unable to complete the function, I was stuck bent halfway. The most intense part was where the ego fought for supremacy; I'm told my face was fixed in a look of horror as I clung to a fence. Coming down though I had the most intense feeling of having contacted something deep and fundamental and it was a sad experience to be moving away from it and returning to reality. Next day I woke up worried I'd lost all abilities and would have to relearn how to put on a pair of socks and tie my shoelaces again. I had no nausea or physical discomfort and drank some alcohol with them, but mostly water. From ingestion to comedown it lasted around 5 or 6 hours. They have more heft than liberty caps, maybe the difference between a queen and a goddess.

    In addition to mushrooms giving nutrients to the plant, they also absorb any heavy metals or other toxins before the tree does, acting like a filter for the tree. And fungi also give off co2 from respiration with oxygen like us, which trees of course use to respirate and give off oxygen in turn. A mutually beneficial cycle

    I'm trying not to cry from happiness. Magic Mushrooms have taken away my pain. I faced death time and time again by my own mind and hand. In desperation, I overcame my fear and the social stigma and the laws, and committed a crime. It stopped the agony. We're talking decades long agony. I joined the army just so I could die a hero and not have to make my family suffer the consequences if I committed suicide. Mushrooms gave me back my life. Thank you nature.

    Your spot on about fear of mushrooms. The only thing I will pick are the giant puffballs that end up growing in the cow pasture.
    There was a story in the 1970s about mama mastroni who ended up poisoning her whole family after picking mushrooms and using a silver coin to determine if they were poisonous. They were. From that point on, I tend to be cautious when it comes to foraging food.
    I wish there were more people to show us how to do it. I love me some mushrooms, the eating kind at least

    These mushrooms are everywhere around where I used to live in Australia. They grow in the streets,parks, school yards n pine Forrests . Never tried them thinking they were extremely dangerous.

    1982 not far west of Mt. Evans in Colorado. Found amanitas and the stems of most were riddled with burrowing maggots. Fly agaric is a nursery for flies.

    I have the amanita muscara all over my mixed hardwood/pine forest in NC. I’ve always been afraid of it but I might give a tiny bit a try. I forage for edible and medicinal mushrooms but have never taken psychedelics of any kind.

    I found out about it from a great grand father, I have a bit of a viking heritage and its considered Odins (Wodan's) mushroom. I got told the whole "christmas" story about it when i was about 12, how the coke a cola company stole the likeness (originally santa was in green, not red and white) and re branded him. How the red caps were dried in ever green trees (xmas tree decorations) and that the original celebration was basically a 3 or more day bender for the whole village in winter time. - the true story of xmas, a religious holiday stolen by another religion basically. So first time I tried them, I found a grove, I basically "felt" them in that direction, and harvested and ate raw, swallowing whole the small ones with water. Took about an hour they kicked in, I couldn't actually talk for about half a day, my voice just stopped working. My friend ran the car off the road into a ditch, and here is where things get weird. I actually managed to push the vehicle (which the driver was pretty sure we were going to need a tow to get out of the ditch ) out. At the time i was feeling overly strong - and I suspect this is the "Bazerker effect" I heard about afterwards that some people have spoken about. next day I ached all over like i had done a massive gym work out. I haven't had them for many years (mostly because I haven't found any) but I do know they are around locally. I am going to have to go for a walk come the next season and see if i can find some.

      Awesome story! please be careful though. They can be fatal when eaten raw. Even dried isn't optimal, it destroys a great deal of the ibotenic acid and barely increases the muscimol. There's a technique to simmer raw at about 2.7ph(citric acid powder correctly calculated/measured) for 2.5 hours to convert all of the ibotenic acid into muscimol. 10 times stronger then dried and zero nausea, brain, or liver damage.
