I would argue that A. Muscaria is one of the easiest mushrooms to identify. Can't possibly mix it with a death cap or destroying angel or A. Pantherina even.

Right but it's not about you it's about OP that's asking the question, from a level of inexperience.

I even admit that unless you're experienced, it's not worth the risk.

Keyword: experience, which you clearly have, OP does not lol.

Forget species, forget Amanita: I'd bet cash a newbie without looking on google or via reference wouldn't be able to tell you a Destroying Angel from any of the other big, bulbous white mushrooms they've seen growing in their yards, etc.

Anyone arguing that it doesn't matter is missing the forest for the trees here IMHO.

My argument was from personal experience looking for those mushrooms as a youth in order to consume them. Didn't have experience in identifying mushrooms other than a few specimen. So I'm just saying it's fairly straight forward to identify this one if one wants to consume it, and nobody should be discouraged to pick them from fear of mixing it with A. Phalloides or something else.
They only look alike in the pinning stage when they are white bulbs in the ground.

To each their own, I just always suggest erring on the side of caution for MOST. You sound with it and good on judgement :sunny:.

I had extremely positive experience working with muscaria. To me its quite psychedelic in higher doses but its in category of its own. As stated by others.

Its mental, visuals are like dreams, no pretty colors and patterns. Nausea was bad for me but passes after purge.

I think it should be noted that I picked them myself in late august/early September (eastern europe) and sun dried them. Always consumed as a tea, boiled &simmered for 45 minutes and strained.

Its better to start low and do it for a few days in a row and see how they treat you. I would do them in evenings before sleep usually. When I was into them I ate insane amount during winter and spring. My liver is just fine.

That being said I haven't consumed them for over decade but in my defense I still have some in fridge from last year. I picked them, extracted but after stashing I kind of forgot about them.

So Im quite sure Im gonna go back to that experience eventually but not yet, I hardly have time to trip at all and when I do i go for acid, shrooms or various phens, its no brainer.

It seems that finally time is catching up and Im starting to get more... old...

Hey, go for it! Nobody says don't, it's just suggested to not risk it if not completely sure, that's all I'm saying!

Experience is the best guide, and the worst thing to happen to a budding enthusiast would be to get sick when not expecting it, is all I'm saying.

Onward and upward, all! :sunny: :levitate:
