OK I got an ounce of African Amanitas...Grade A caps, just like Horribal who had a bad experience, and from reading his post. I want to be extra cautious and show you guys what my caps look like. Also I have nothing to do this weekend so tonight will be the only time I can trip for awhile...so please let me know what you all think asap.
Here are all of the caps laid out...

Now here are a few that I think are bad...
this is the underside of what I think is possibly a bad one

and here are a few more that look bad...

Also I remember reading somewhere that I should remove the gills, is this true? And one more question, what if I make tea with these but with cold water...so please quickly let me know if they are good or not because I don't want to take them when its like 2 in the a.m. Thanks guys.

Well, they look like dried amanitas... If your concerned about the funky looking ones, don't use them. You seem to have enough decent looking material there to pick and choose. Just start dosing lower than you think you need, try that, if it's not enough work, brew up more a bit later and slug that too....
amanitas aren't for everyone. be careful.

Personally I wouldn't... never know how violent the nausea is going to be with those things. Have some water around... they gave me wicked cotton mouth, plus it's good to have in case they do make you yak...

If you ordered them they are the real deal, and those thick, almost resinated gills should be eaten too.
The one in the mid-top-left looks like pantherinia(another active amanita, but not as often sought after compared to muscaria). But I dont know. I just think it has a cool color.

look like oranges to me mang.
personally, i wouldn't eat anything with "gills"
-------------------- "A friend of mine was famous for holding his hits until his face swelled up and turned bright red. The veins in his neck and forehead would bulge and he'd get bug-eyed. He'd start sweating. Then he'd belch the hit out violently, along with plenty of spit, and gasp for air." ~UBAKO

Well mang......what would you expect when eating amanitas.
DO you have a gillphobia? DO you carve the gills out of your typical cubinsis mushroom because you dont like gills. DO you know what anyone here meant by gills, or do you know what an amanita mushroom is?
If you do know those things about mushrooms, did you think that comment was even funny? It was pretty lame mang.
I dont really care what you say, but I thought id just point out the obvious.

Yeah... I thought maybe it was sarcastic at first. Perhaps some obscure fish joke? But the quotes around gills suggests that he perhaps has no clue what that means. The quotes kind of suggest that "gills" is an improper, unusual term. Obviously, it isn't the case. Have fun carving out our cubensis bud.
As far as amanita go, I hear there isn't much good in the gills, and you just want the cap skin itself.
That one is most likely not bad. I've had some amanita just dry plain goofy. Not nearly as simple to dry as cubes either. just leaving them out isn't enough, heh. Could be heat that caused that mark. Or maybe some sort of slug living on there exploded. Lots of amanitas are full of bugs. hehe...
Haven't gotten the balls to eat them though.

Well I didn't have a scale around and I picked out the good looking ones and had about 5-7 grams. 10 at the most but I doubt it. I ate the first half and just felt really relaxed, nothing else. So half hour later I ate the rest...and I started to feel even more relaxed and the room had this really soft glow to it, it was almost unnoticable but it was definetily there. Well after an hour or so I was like whatever and opened up Requiem for a Dream and I was going to try and finish the rest of it while I was listening to The Doors on my cd player with headphones. Well I was reading for about an hour than all of a sudden I was hit with this really extreme tiredness. I would have went to bed but it is a weekend and I can't really stay up late any more due to school so I decided to stay up some more and read. Well next thing I remember I was reading and still listening to The Doors, at least I thought I was, but I woke up...and the book wasn't in my hands anymore!! My brother told me I put the book down and shit and went to sleep but I don't remember that. And when I woke up and realized I was actually sleeping it reminded me of a time when I tried to fall asleep early when I took some cubes. I fell asleep not knowing it, and then woke up quickly but that time I was "bit" by a dog...which I only thought... But I don't think I'll try amanitas from a website, if I get my hands on some wild ones I think I'll prepare them myself and do all that so that way I know they are prepared right and everything.
P.S. They taste fucking gross...worst than cubes.

You thought they tasted nasty? That sucks, mine tasted something like chicken but I couldnt stand the texture, I hate the texture of dried mushrooms... Anyways sounds like what I experienced... Extreme tiredness and I "passed out" without actually passing out... I believe my mind and soul went to a higher place leaving my body in the "real world" and people tell me i moved a little and said things occasionaly but other than that I was completely gone they say. And I guess my mind couldnt handle what it was experiencing in this higher place. Im very curious about everything that I experienced and have several theories. I want to revisit that place but on a lower dose and somewhere in nature. I know that if i can get it under control I will have a most amazing experience.
And about the pictures you gave, they looked alot different from the caps I recieved. Mine had many more white wort thingies on the caps and wernt that oddly shaped. Plus mine were broken up into quarters and such i didnt have any whole caps :S But hey atleast you had a decent experience it would be pretty trippy waking up after thining you were awake and reading, id freak out a little lol.
