Oh, and when I do get a positive ID I'll go back to the spot and grab a few more, there's got to be at least 10 pounds of them growing where I found them. That way I can post a picture of the whole harvest.
Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to pick them all! After all, I do want them to grow back so I can go back and get more when they grow again!
You guys are all set to consume. Just make sure they are prepared correctly to convert the ibotenic acid into muscimol.
As I use these things more, I'm starting to discover properties of both ibotenic acid and muscimol that each have their own unique application. Ibotenic acid really seems to warm me up and get me active. If its butt-ass cold outside, I'm eating the caps fresh. No questions asked. If I want an entheogenic experience or visions, etc. toasting must be done. Just thought I'd add that tidbit.

Hey again everyone! Time for an update. I just got all my caps and stems ready to dry out and I took a couple 5 gram portions for me and my girl and fried them with butter to see how the experience is. So far, so good.
I have another ID request though and I figured I'd post it here since all of the information is the same. It was found in the same habitat but what struck me odd about this amanita is that it had more of a whiter cap with a trace of yellow (Maybe due to sunbleaching?) I thought it was another Guessowii until I notice that the stem bruised blue, unlike any of the others.
Is the blue bruising typical of Guessowii and I just didn't notice it on the other stems or do I have a different type of Amanita here?
Oh, and I just wanted to take a moment to really thank all of you for the amazing help. You accepted me right into the community and you helped me without any other reason to help. It's awesome to see this kind of community thrive in the current state of the world. Thank you, thank you... thank you, so much!

I wonder if it's Amanita Guessowii var ???. It has to be crossed with something that would bruise blue. It was located near to two very large Guessowii and I just thought it was one that had been sunbleached.
It was the only one in the batch that bruised blue, I'm glad I caught it because it would have sucked to injest and unidentified Amanita!
Here's a little trip report thus far though. I took my first little 5 gram sliver about 50 minutes ago. It's a very mild, fun, bubbly, light buzz. I'm getting trails, I'm vibrating a tad and it's like a very mild marijuana high with more trails. Excellent! Not bad at all!
I fried them in butter with some Himalayan sea salt and ground black pepper. It tasted like a cut of steak that melted in my mouth. I saved one of the larger caps for frying while I wait for my "Amanita Hash" to finish (By the way, thanks for the guide LSMS.)
I easily got a good 7 or 8 pounds of Guessowii and left a good 3 or 4 pounds to repopulate the area. Not bad for a novice mycologist, huh? So that will produce a good amount of the "hash."
When I saw the fairy ring of them as I drove by it blew my mind when I got up close and saw them. I had no clue they grew at this elevation.
I had a hard time cutting off the caps, I actually felt bad for doing it because I respect these mushrooms so much. It's an awesome experience for sure.

I can't believe I forgot to thank you for the positive ID on them. Thank you muchly! I appreciate it .

If you have one of those nail and dome things for your water-pipe you can vaporize the Amani-hash too.  I have not tried this personally but I read a post of someone doing it with good results.
As far as your bluing I do not see it at all, I am color blind though.

The bluing is definitely in the stipe. And I'm pretty sure there were no berries near it. It was located until a connifer and as far as I know, connifers don't have berries, haha! And my hands are clean. Let me go check it and see if it bruised up more.
And thanks for that lsms, I do have a nail and dome so I guess I can start smoking my Amani-hash some time tomorrow! Thanks so much!
And a question. I'm drying my Guessowii out right now and it's been about an hour but they aren't completely dried yet. I followed the guides properly but maybe I have them too crowded. Will this hurt my end product? And the liquid in the bottom of the pyrex dish is the ibotenic acid, correct?

No problem, let me know how it is. If you want to find out if that amanita is bruising or not, cut it in half and see if it turns blue where you cut it.

Nah. Something blue that stipe, because it's not bruising blue.

If it was a juniper, that is an evergreen that could potentially host amanita and also have berries. Lol.
