People I know have used amanita muscaria juices for mixing with pot and letting it dry out and smoking it. It gives a speedy high is all. I personally do not recommend that anyone eat the amanita muscria without reading serious literature about it such as Andrew Weil.s chapter in "Marriage of the Sun and the Moon," Or some of the papers pubished in the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs (renamed the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs), or the German Volume on Amanita with numerous essays and articles from various journals , that book is called "Der Fliegenpilze" (Bauer, Wolfgang, Klapp, Edzard and Alexandra Rosenbohm (Eds.). 1991. Der Fliegenpilz. Traumskult, M?rchenzauber, Mythenrausch}.
Or R. Gordon Wasson's "Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality" or any of these other papers by R. Gordon Wasson:

A pre-histrory of the Soma complex by which R. G. Wasson suggests that the Soma of the ancient Vedic Hymns is actually the mushroom Amanita muscaria.
Wasson, R. Gordon et al. 1980. Unpublished manuscripts. (From Ott, 1993).
"The Miskwedo of the Ahnishinaubeg" by Keewaydinoquay; "Supporting Evidence" by R. Gordon Wasson; "A Mushroom Ceremony" by R. Kaplan. The three printed and bound copies of this rarest piece of Wassoniana are locked up in the Houghton Rare Book Library at Harvard University until the year 2020 (Schultes, 1992; Personal communications with Jonathan Ott). Since Wasson sent me copies of these three manuscripts for the book during its writing, these were available for examination. The three printed books contain a reproduction of a hand-painted scroll made by Keewaydinoquay, the original of which Wasson showed me, detailing the Ahnishinaubeg folk stories regarding Amanita muscaria, and the book features a series of Ahnishinaubeg tales in which the sacred mushroom figures. Wasson's introductory chapter, "Supporting Evidence" is substantially similar to the paper he published in the Journal of Psychedelic Drugs (Wasson, 1979a), being the lecture he gave at a 1978 conference in San Francisco, in which Keewaydinoquay, M. Perchel and Reid Kaplan also participated."
