I would not eat the yellow amanitas. Some say they are good, some say they are deadly....since your not dead i would say they are fine but be carefull.
The whole Amanita family has 2 chemicals that produce intoxication and death- ibotenic acid and muscimol. Ibotenic acid is the poison that kills your liver if you eat the wrong Amanita. Muscimol produces the trip. In the red Amanita Muscaria the level of ibotenic acid is very low, therefor rendering the mushroom trippable (wont kill 'ya). In all of the other mushrooms in the Amanita family the level of ibotenic acid is much higher, at lethal levels. The yellow caped Amanitas do contain more ibotenic acid then its red caped relative. Ibotenic acid is converted into Muscimol in the liver, but not much can be handled by your liver. Therefor if there is too much ibotenic acid in the mushroom it causes liver failure.
I wouldn't eat the yellow ones, even though many have said to be fine after munching them down. Be carefull with the whole Amanita family none the less.
Also make sure you prepare the red or yellow capped Amanitas properly, if done right they will cause no nausea at all

All Amanitas can be defined as deadly or not just my their look. There is only one kind of Amanita with a red cap, the safe one. This is the same for the yellow one. If you did stumble upon a poisonous Amania you probably would not be able to identify it as part of the Amanita family because it looks much different. Therefor there is no reason for spore print color or any of that nonsence.
A good dose is 10 grams cracker dry. If you put them fresh in the oven make sure to slice them in half length-wise(sp) to dry them out completely. Once they look dry in the oven keep them in for 10 more minutes because high heat destroys ibotenic acid(poison). The only part in the mushroom worth smoking is the thin skin layer on the top because it contains the most "magic". I wouldn't suggest it because the smoke is **FUCKING HORRIBLE!!**.

You said:

I think you need to do more research.

Ibotenic acid is not poison. The toxins in Amanitas are amatoxins, which are not present in A. muscaria. I suggest you read up on Amanitas a little bit at www.erowid.org

i ate 3 grams of dried amanitas (european - supposedly much more potent) with 2 grams of some homegrown cubies. tripped balls - but it was a very hazy/dreamy/drunken trip. Not sure how much of it was amanitas and how much was cubes, but id imagine some of it HAD to be the amanitas b/c of the intensity of the trip. No bad side effects but i dunno how much they woulda done on their own

That sounds more like an Amanita trip to me... They're described as a drunken, dreamy, delerium... not a trip at all in my opinon. LizardKing has a friend who loves the Amanita experience... But it sure doesn't sound like much fun to me.

some mushrooms take a few days to kill you, i would just wait a while longer before you decide that those were good mushrooms..

Do not try amanita until youre sure what type it is Amanita virosa and Amanita phalloides are poisonous,you wont fill nothing nice but die after some time[usually 3-4-5-6-7 days] A muscaria and A pantherina are the amanitas you can trip on, not sure bout A mappa/citrina Ive consumed twice amanita pantherinas[after readling everyhing in www.erowid.org and here]It was mad but somehow i didnt trip First time I ate half of a little-medium sized shroom and that took 3 hitz from the best weed I could get,and the ganja plant was MAD. in the first ten minutes-while we walked to the school ( wee took them in the break - I know, stupid )And during this short walk I felt...somehow beautiful,all things were alot beautiful and somehow sunny - I percieve everything like this in life) I was cleared.Also I felt the ganja high I felt the shroom,too-even only in the first 10 mins.Nice The second time I ate myself one pantherina - I had dried it on the sun for 3 sunny dayz and after that on a grill.I ate it 10 minutes before leaving home.The same - just before leaving[i smoked no weed] I was laughing at my mum without any reason.If was funny.But the laugh wasnt like a weed laugh - caused by the substance, it was a laught from my hearght,with which I somehow expressed love,everythinig wan so natural. I felt the fading effects bout 1 hr after injesting I noticed that pantherina both times made me nervous for about a week after i ate them.Thats why I think pantherina is no good,also she contains Folin - which fucks up your stomach A few days in a talk with a friend he told me I shouldnt eat no food 4 hrs before the trip.Before those twho trips I probably ate a lot ( I eat alot )Is this why I felt so weak effects ? Ive got another question,too I know kids are more pliable to shrooms[for dosing information] but is it dangerous and cat it make to me something it wont do to a adult ?Im 14  Thakz & hope the info would be halpful

amanita has edibles in the family. amanita caesarea, amanita rubescens, amanita solitaria, amanita echinocephala, amanita inaurata, amanita spissa, amanita fulva, and amanita umbrinolutea are all edible amanitas. amanita phalloides and others contain wicked ass toxins. look at this http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=amanitin&btnG=Search then search for images of ibotenic acid, and muscarine.
the toxins from the toxic amanitas are so large, that your liver cannot process them. they come in the liver and cause damage, cannot be broken down, and then go for another loop in the body. the chemicals keep looping untill they kill. its said taking amoxicillin after eating a toxic amanita will block that action, but must be taken imediately. amanitas are fun!
