A little help please with Amanita muscaria

Hello. I have been a lurker for a fair few year and this is my first post. First of all, I live in a van so my preparation methods are somewhat improvised.
Today I collected a fair amount of Fly Agarics and for the last few days I have been researching methods of preparation.
 I settled on the method on this forum of dehydrating shrooms, grinding them to powder and simmering at 90c for 30 minutes before drinking. I'll try and embed a video of my cooking/drying device or just add a link. Basically, it's a candle powered steel oven with mushrooms cooking atop in tin tray. If you look in the photo (apologies for photo quality)
they seem to have sweated and released red liquid. Would anyone know the consequences for sampling this liquid at this stage? I do plan on allowing it to slowly evaporate for a few hours longer but I am curious. I'm fairly new so please be harsh and honest with your criticism I'm here to learn. Youtube video of improvised cooker: (Cool)

I'd suggest adding the sweat to the broth/tea. Also, any reason you've dried them first? I just chopped and boiled mine into chicken noodle soup and sipped it. Amanitas are pretty tasty before drying.

If your using them entheogenically your gonna want try dry them out completely at around 175 degrees fahrenheit. I would say your current method will work, but you should have some ventilation at the top of the dome. I would construct one out of tin foil with a good hole(probably quarter size is fine) and the very top.
Alternately I read and recently tried and found you can leave amanintas in a cardboard box at room temp and in about a week or less they will be cracker dry and snap if bent. Technically this is more traditional I suppose. I've heard of shamans just hanging the mushrooms to dry in a tree branch. I've also dried them out on pavement on a hot day.
If you cook and some of the both doesn't cook back into the caps when they dry and instead dries as an amber resin on the bottom of the pan, I suggest you scrape it up because it contains muscimol. I have a tiny bit I saved in a vial from a cook this year.

Thanks for your reply. You can't see it from the angle videoed but there is a hole cut out on the other side.

Good to know! Do you think this resin could be smoked?
