Amanita muscaria? ID Australia

Found in Australia, East Melbourne
Is this a Amanita muscaria? if so what are the distinguishing features?
Anyone have any suggestions/good preparation techniques for south-east Australian strains?

it most certainly is an amanita muscaria. if your going to eat it?... which i personally wouldn't recommend, dry it till you could grind it. dry dosage's usually are anything from 5-20g. Ive heard from many people that the effects are undesirable and generally unpleasant. but, each to their own. have fun whatever you choose to do though.

That thing is making me hungry.
Beautiful Amanita muscaria.
Not only would I recommend drying it (upside down, so as to not lose any juices) and eating it, I also recommend drinking your urine afterwards.

There are mushrooms in the Amanita family that are deadly.
Look at some pics of Amanita phalloides.
The A. muscaria you have is just a textbook specimen, but you may wait for a trusted identifier to confirm this.

Thanks for the quick replies, was pratically certain it was a A. muscaria, however being my first muscaria find, i just wanted to be 100% sure as always being preached here at shroomery.
Here are some picture of the patch if anyone is interested. The individual originally posted is the largest, most developed one in the background.
Happy hunting.

Wow that's some Amanitas. If you are interested in eating them check out erowid.org and look at some trip reports to know exactly what your getting in to.

Are you serious about this? I have read about a tribe that used to do this. In fact the whole tribe would consume them and party. The women became promiscuous and were not held responsible for there whoreish ways while under the influence of the mushroom. I can't for the life of me remember what tribe. I know that I have it written down somewhere.....

It was practiced by Siberians.
Yeah, I've done it and it works.
Sounds nasty but cut with some Gatorade, it's not that bad.
I have kept a good Amanita vibe going for a couple of days.

Gross LOL. I have also read that drinking the urine is like a distilled version, through somebody LOL, with all of the alkaloids that cause twitching and sweating removed and it may be stronger is this true?

Wow. I'll just stick to eating the strongest Psilocybe mushrooms I can find for a psychedelic experience, or maybe some cactus. You won't ever catch me drinking A. muscaria piss.

I have never experienced any negative effects from AM's, other than overwhelming body load.
All the AM's I've gotten have been high quality and dried.

Me too, ive only tried them twice but when I did it was really cool/mellow.
The body load was like a small dose of morphine, nice and relaxing.

I have had a variety of effects from them.
They have made me feel energized in the morning and sleepy at night.
My first experience with a batch might produce an uncomfortable body load, but the next day they are much more subtle.
There is a definite "acid" feel to them, like the comedown of an LSD trip without the visuals.
If I take a couple of grams of a batch I am used to, about an hour in feels a bit like a MDMA buzz, but it fades quickly into sober good mood.
I don't think these mushrooms are good for a trip, but I like them for what they are.
I use them as a tonic of sorts, mostly in the winter.
I have never taken a heroic dose of these, and I probably never will.

Bump!
Don't drink urine, psychoactive or otherwise (if you're into that kind of thing..)!
Although the odds are slightly slim, your piss contains bacteria that could make you or whoever the drinker is sick. If you *must* do it, get the urine from the middle of the stream, as it won't contain these bacterias.
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urophagia#Bacterial_contamination
Quote:
The urethra contains bacteria, hence many urine therapy practitioners use mid-stream urine, in order to allow the first few seconds of urination to wash out the bacteria within the urethra. This is also why many physicians ask for a urine sample mid-stream.
Sorry for the bump, I just thought a bit of medically relevant information might be a good thing in this case.
As for me, no thank you, I'll just flush it...

Those are fucking beauties mate. I've always wanted to try Muscaria, but I've never found them here in Brisbane.
