A. Muscaria and I am Shaman questions

I did the obligatory search, but I did not find my Amanita muscaria questions answered. Perhaps I didn't check far back enough, but after about 100 or so amanita threads, I figured to throw this out (t)here.
I plan on purchasing some A. muscaria from IamShaman.com. I was wondering what the difference was between each type that they sell. http://www.iamshaman.com/eshop/10Browse.asp?Category=Amanita:Dried%20Caps They're all A.Muscaria, but some are 'washington state,' siberian,' or 'latvian.' Has any one personally order any of these from the site? Is there a considerable difference between the choices there? I mean, they're all the same species. If there is a difference, what is it?
(PS I was also gonna grab some Calea Zacatechichi. Anyone have any general comments on that?)

Well, I believe that the location where picked is the name, I do not believe you can grow flys, so all are picked from nature. I bought an ounce of siberian fly. Took the ounce in two doses. It was like a uncordinated drukeness feeling, very mild though.

Siberia is where they were orginally used, but for some reason, IAmShaman places some special stock in the Washington Amanitas. I've picked some of mine own out here in the PNW, and made some tea, it was however not very many, and just left me with a drunkeness, not enough to take a trip.

i kidna guessed it was abotu the location. but does the location have an effect on the potency? or taste? or what? I dunno. the prices are pretty much the same, except for the a++ washington state. Really, i just want to know what the best one would be to get for the money. (if i am shaman, is in fact a good place to get this stuff)

I just got the Lavtian A+ ones in the mail today, probably doing them Wednesday, it'll be my first time doing amanitas but I'll let you know if they're any good.

Hey,
I've bought the washington state A. muscaria caps from iamshaman, they are primo. I don't think they were the super triple a's, but they were nice caps. I also got the cheap mix (caps and stems) from iamshaman, and there is a definite difference in the quality. All caps are better than a mix of stems. The washington caps are a beautiful red/gold/copper color.
By the way -- back when I lived in the PNW (Humboldt County) I picked quite a few of the Soma mushrooms, and the quality was comparable to the washington's from iamshaman. But anyway, in my humble opinion, it's worth it to spend a few bucks extra for the good washington state amanita's. Make some tea -- 9 or 10 grams will do. Or eat dry chips with milk. I don't know if iamshaman is a shroomery sponsor, but I've done a lot of business with them, and they seem to be pretty decent folks.
Soma can't be beat.
