a simple question over amanitas...
    #5545561 - 04/22/06 09:36 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

hi ppl!, a boy i know has a country house in Valdivia, Chile... the last time he went there, he got a nice suprice, a 10x3m mushrooms field :laugh:

now, i dont know much about mushrooms, and he know even less =P
but hte mushrooms seams to be amanitas, they are red with white dots, the cap has about 10cm diameter (wen i have some pics i will post them so u can help me)...
its know that there are magic mushrooms in Valdivia, i have never seen then, but i think they should be Amanita Muscaria... anyway, is there a other type of magic mushrooms that likes a bit to amanita muscaria? and, are there more "magic" amanitas?? r even worsth, are the Amanita Muscaria a magic mushroom, and is it save to eat them?

thx for your help :wink:

Amanita muscaria is different from the psilocybin containing mushrooms, as it doesn't have any psilocin or psilocybin in it.
The experience seems to be only liked by a select few. People commonly seem to have bad experiences with amanitas.
Also there are other poisonous and deadly mushrooms in the same genus. It's not recommended for beginners to mess with the Amanita genus. I've heard reports from users which described the muscaria effects as more of a "poisoned" sort of feeling than a "high".
I never consume any Amanitas personally, but I think they make great photo subjects.

If it is an amanita muscaria it has to be cooked a special way to cause a chemical reaction in it or something

No. There are actually several edible species in the genus Amanita.

Unfortunately, there are also several deadly species in the genus. Amanitas cause more fatalities than all other mushrooms combined.

People who think they know how to identify their finds make a mistake, and they get poisoned. Often their entire families are poisoned. With modern medicine, people who promptly seek medical attention usually survive. Even with the best medical care, some do not.

Unless you can be absolutely 100% certain of what Amanita you're identifying (and you should be able to tell somebody else exactly how you know), you should not eat any Amanita (unless a real expert identified it - there aren't many people I'd trust my life to, and that's exactly what you're doing with Amanitas).


The chemical reaction mentioned with the cooking is heat induced transformation of Ibotenic Acid to Muscimole. Muscimole apparently causes fewer unpleasant side effects than Ibotenic Acid. There are also lots of other alkaloids in A. muscaria, most of which have not had much pharmacological research done on them. Some of the other alkaloids are probably responsible for some of the unpleasant effects.

Also, different specimens of A. muscaria have different levels and types of alkaloids in them. That makes the overall picture even more complicated.

Happy mushrooming!
