Hey people ive been around the shroomery for ages but this is my first time posting.
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on amanita muscaria, it used to grow in the woods near my house like 5 years ago and i was thinking of going hunting to get some specimens. Will they still be around tho, i didnt know cos its been a while since ive been up there. Another thing is their toxicity, ive heard loads of horror stories about them but just how dangerous are they? And would preparation change this? Grateful for ne info.

Hello and welcome to the Shroomery!
Before You get a bunch of answers like "Ewww, stay away from that shit, it's not worth it", let me tell You that although the effects are very different from those of psilocybin mushrooms, IMHO Amanita muscaria is certainly worth a try. Yes, it's not a party thing and yes - preparation is the key.
Before consuming anything be sure to read through the Amanita vaults here at the Shroomery and at the Erowid site, also have a look at the jamesarthur.net.
Here are some recipes: http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/24295 http://jamesarthur.net/recipe.html
Good luck and stay safe

Just use the SEARCH engine. This is asked all the time and there is a lot of helpful info on this message board if when used correctly.

Your too late to find A muscaria unfortunately. I'm from the UK too and they stopped fruiting mid November.

I've always wondered about Amanita.....I read an article not long ago about a guy who doses everyday. He only uses a "small amount" and he swears it increases his energy and he's not had any bad effects from AM. It doesn't grow in my part of the country but I can order it online and probably will soon. If I find that article, I'll post a link to it. If you try it, why not post your "findings" for the rest of us. Erowid was mentioned earlier and that might be where I found that article about that guy....also, I agree with the previous post, be sure and read read read b/4 u do it and good luck
