 Amanita muscaria Mushroom

hello,
im looking for an opinion on this mushroom, i see it can be mail ordered. however i have read that "there are many species of mushrooms in the Amanita genus which are not psychoactive."
http://www.bouncingbearbotanicals.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_71&products_id=352
are those psychoactive? does anyone know if that is a reputable site and if it would be worth ordering from them?
thanks.

Amanita Muscaria contains ibotenic acid, which is a neurotoxin that causes brain damage. It may or may not be present in large enough quantities to cause appreciable damage, I don't know. But really, why not just go for psilocybes and other, safer choices?

They are psychoactive but nothing like psiocybes and many people do mot enjoy their effects. Do some research before you try them.

A little history on the FLY AGARIC. In olden days they used to dip the caps in milk, so when the flys would land on them and lick them, the poison would kill them, Hence the name.

It's doesn't cause brain damage. It causes (sometimes) extreme nausea and cramps. I just powder the dry caps and put them in boiling orange juice for about 5 minutes. It worked for me, however, depending on your personal chemistry it could be very pleasurable, hell, or nothing at all.

well said but i prefer taking some you can use chunks or powder and making scrambled eggs with cheese all the cooking makes sure all the ibotenic acid is converted so you trip harder like i said siberians will give a strong body buzz and washington state ones are more visual but diffent the psilos like the walls will look like they are covered in water and you could look at something and see a whirl pool form. Also mixing of senses you could look a brick and feel it on you or maybe taste brick its a tricky mushroom its so fun tho its good to do with friends more then alone. i recomend getting some pot and wormwood and mixing it with some of the shake of the bag and smoking that once you feeling the effects of eating

Quote:
Ibotenic Acid: The current view is that some Ibotenic Acid does cross the blood brain barrier unchanged, but some is partially metabolised into muscimol and the rest excreted. Ibotenic acid, however, has been shown to be a potent neurotoxin when injected directly in the brains of mice and rats and is used as a potent brain-lesioning agent. It is structurally similar to glutamate and activates NMDA receptors, but this is not likely to be involved significantly with the effects of A. muscaria.

Do you have solid evidence showing that it does not cross the blood-brain barrier in large enough quantities to be harmful? I doubt it.

Well if you cook it at the appropriate temperature the ibotenic acid is turned to muscimol acid, like thedudenj said.

It's generally the same situation as muscaria, but the potency is a little weaker. Cooking the acids is a definite recommendation.
Do some reading here, http://www.erowid.org/plants/amanitas/amanitas.shtml, before you decide to do anything with them.
Here's a snippet:
"It was not until 1964/65 that these compounds, called muscimol, muscazone, muscasophine, and ibotenic acid, were finally analyzed. As it turned out, ibotenic acid is mainly responsible for the intoxicating properties of A. muscaria.. Muscimol, which is derived from ibotenic acid through dehydration and decarboxylation, is indeed psychoactive, though it is missing from the flesh of both the cap and stem. Whether muscazone, whose presence in young caps is, for the most part, negligible, forms from ibotenic acid has not yet been demonstrated with any certainty. Even less active is a compound that until now was all but unknown, muscasophine.
Muscarine and ibotenic acid are concentrated chiefly in the whitish universal veil remnants on top of the cap. The effects of these substances were known long ago to the Norwegian Berserks and were manifested in their infamous mania. Since ibotenic acid and muscimol pass through the body unchanged, in old times the urine of one who was intoxicated was reused."
