Apparently, that's a fly agaric, which some sources on the internet say can be used to get you high. I still wouldn't do it unless an actual mycologist told me that it was okay
Not a mycologist but...
Fry in a bit of butter. Taste is really good, i guess the muscimol is also a flavor enhancer. Cooking flashes off the other toxins. If eaten raw it will be a night on the toilet.
Can make you nauseas even when cooked, depends on your biology in general or on a given day. High is similar to alcohol. But it's also a sleep aid similar to ambien.
Red cap with white specks, otherwise white. veil annulus, gilled, white sporeprint. Fruits in late summer through fall.
You can, but people rarely do more than once, which should be an indication of how much fun it is.
I've done it a few times. Colours pop, some mood change, but overall it's weak and not worth it. I didn't get negative effects, it's just a crap mushroom experience if you can get ahold of psilocybin mushrooms.
Seconded.
Should prolly try shamans piss version of amanitas. You know where a proper geezer who's been eating these for decades dries them properly, then eats a whole bunch, then pisses in a dish and then you drink the piss.
That would probably get closer to the roots of what amanitas are about. I had a similar very mild but in no way negatively experience as you.
Laid on a sofa and it felt slightly like as if on a magic carpet through space. But like, that needed imagination, I wasn't experiencing that, but if I had to describe what sort the mild feeling was.
Back in the 1970s some friends and I ate some fly agaric we found in the botanic gardens, because we'd heard it got you high. The other three went on to have a fantastic time, high as kites, in a nightclub. Me? I spent hours on my knees in front of the toilet, vomiting and vomiting and vomiting. Do not recommend.
Amanite tue-mouche (fly killer).
It can indeed get you high if prepared properly (something about the peeling the skin/dots? Can't remember).
But even if done correctly the high to sick ratio isn't worth it I hear and it's very easy to not prepare it properly. So I heard...
One method I heard of is having reindeer eat them, after that their urine becomes psychedelic, without liver damaging toxins.
Yep. My ex-girlfriend tried it once and said she spent most of the high vomiting.
