What do you know about Amanita Muscaria mushrooms?

Are the psychedelic? These are all bright red and orange (mostly just red) mushroom caps and seem to have white spots? I had my first trip on Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms last week, and had one of the best, most profound experiences of my life. Would these Amanita Muscaria mushrooms produce anything similar?
I saw them online, and was wondering if they were worth ordering, as 1oz is $40

Thanks in advance!

Hmm..it feels slightly like a psychedelic, but it isn't...
You get trails and light colored shadows everywhere, your thoughts become abstract as well...you just think of things differently...not psychedelic thoughts..I can't put my finger on it.
Oh yea...take too much and you salivate like a mofo. Washington caps are REAL STRONG.

Nope. Amanita muscaria contains an entirely unrelated active alkaloid. Whether this will be suited to you, only you can know. But please do some significant research on preparation and effects beforehand. These are not anything like the cubensis experience, and is often considered a deliriant.
Think of it as comparing LSD to Datura.

From my personal experience with this kind of shroom,I can say that the best way of ingesting it is by making a tea from it. Also,the trip lasted 6 hours and it was just..''different'',completely unique for me. It was like ambien combined with atropa belladona. And that because I made tea from 10 amanita caps,thing that I don't really recommend.

That is a highly inaccurate metaphor. The main alkaloid in amanitas is muscimol. It is a GABA agonist with dramatically different pharmacology and effects than the tropane alkaloids found in datura plants.
OP, I suggest wikipedia-ing and you will have your answers.

Have only read accounts - but have read quite a bit into the fly shroom.
It seems to really not be worth the trouble, and can be a tricky one to properly prepare.
Effects seem to include a kind of "dream like state." Some body image distortion (Alice in Wonderland syndrome.)
McKenna and Wasson did not have much success with this species.

Amanitas have been the stuff of legend in religion and history itself since the origin of man's transcendent consciousness. tread lightly as the old shamans used to meet entities in forbidden landscapes that your psyche can only imagine in your dreams

It's a very common mushroom in the PNW I pass dozen just walking into work.... Parks, landscapes... Have seen thousands in the woods... I have some nice photos of them in my gallery
They are a dileriant .... Not psychedelic per se I think of the experience as a couple of beers and a sharp smack to the head
But... Others love the experience... As mentioned, only you can answer that question
The genus contains one of the actual deadly mushrooms so if you are hunting, make sure what you are picking.
Very Pretty mushroom... Very photogenic ... Alice in Wonderland like
You can search this forum and find hundreds of threads on them

No it'snot. I am not suggesting Amanita is like Datura, I'm suggesting that the difference between Psilo & Muscimol may as well be the difference between LSD & Datura. In other words 'Apples & Oranges'. If I had of said that, would you correct me that oranges and amanita are not a good metaphor either?

I think it is more psychedelic if you drink your urine- if only because you get a bigger dose with a much cleaner body and mind.
The experience can run the gauntlet between energy and lethargy; fear and ecstasy, excitement and disappointment: but with a general mood enhancement. It is said to produce reverse tolerance and be good used in small doses as a winter tonic.
I find smaller doses to improve color saturation and edge definition, mood and comfortable energy. Large doses can be overpowering, consuming and transcendent seeming like astral projection.
Be sure to convert the Ibotenic acid.
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.
