Hello, I just found some Amanita Muscaria while walking around in an mountain area (1300m+)
Should I pick them up? I am a rarely user of weed, im 18 and thinking if i should try microdosing Amanita Muscaria. I want to better know myself, I'm not in a good time of my life mentally, I dont know what to do with my future. Would microdosing help thinking outside the box?
PS: Never tried anything other than weed. I don't want microdosing to make me feel not in control cause i'm getting pretty fast anxious.

Did you watch the episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopoeia on Amanita Muscaria? He is normally down for trying ANY psychedelic drug, but on that one, he PASSED and just filmed other people using it. Why do you think that is? Maybe because it contains toxins and people often report negative experiences with it. I'd suggest just leaving it alone and enjoying the beauty and the pictures  If you want to eat mind altering mushrooms, there are MUCH better ones to choose.

I've read some posts from a user here called Peyote Road. He's had some insightful posts about amanitas and his experiences with them. He piqued my interest for sure and he represents the most pro amanita voice I've heard here. Not everyone agrees with him though.
Do a search for him and amanita.

You can peel the red skin off the caps dry it and smoke it. It's weird

Oh man awesome, I've been wanting to find some. If I was you aI'd pick and process them just for the sake of having them if any time in the future curiosity arose. You have to process them properly. Supposed to be a uncomfortable or odd experience at high doses but I'd be curious to try very minimal doses for the sake of experimenting

I messed around with these in my early days of foraging because they are literally everywhere near my location. It is my experience that they are extremely unreliable in potency, even from the same areas/trees. Unreliable to the point where we'd pick many that were totally inactive. Wound up eating a bunch dried at high heat with garlic salt on them like potato chips. Not bad...
I'm in no way recommending eating amanita chips as a snack. The whole genus spooks me, but I recognize that's my own issue. My more potent ones left me feeling slightly inebriated almost drunk, but I've never been able to have a real psychedelic experience. It had always been recommended to me to dry them at high heat to aid in converting the ibotenic acid into muscimol outside the body. That being said, it was mostly hearsay to me, and I'd lost interest when I started foraging Psilocybin. My recommendation? If you're interested in psychedelic mushroom foraging, learn your local psilocybe and/or panaelous species.

The important thing is to convert Ibotenic Acid into Muscimol. This is best done by dehydrating at hight temp until completely dry. Then bake them in the oven as much as possible without burning.
Ibotenic acid is responsible for most of the negative effects. Muscimol is the primary Psychoactive alkaloid. The conversion of this is completed via heat which results in decarboxylation (the removal of a carbon atom).
You may be familiar with decarboxylation as it is also used to change non psychoactive THC into psychoactive THC.
I believe the skin was found to have low concentrations of alkaloids, with the greatest concentration occurring in the cap flesh(context).
Smoking has never resulted in effects anything like consuming for me. I don't believe you could smoke enough to truly trip.
And yes, I have successively tripped on A. mascara.
        
You have to eat quite a bit and it is gross.

There are many subspecies, hundreds if I'm not mistaken, some more toxic than others. I'd start by trying to figure out what subspecies/strain it is

I would proceed with caution. In fact I wouldn't recommend tripping at all on Amanita mushrooms since it creates a rather delirious effect which isn't comfortable for many and because you're feeling stressed mentally.
If you do decide to microdose, I would opt for something in the genera Psilocybe or Panaeolus which are much more effective when it comes to microdosing experiences.
Just proceed with caution, start incredibly small, have a trip sitter, create a mellow mood before you trip.
If I were a doctor I would recommend not taking any substances until you're feeling a bit more mentally fit, but there are plenty of resources here at the shroomery to help you figure out if you should indulge or not.
Be safe!
