No problem, thanks.
Hmm, the tea method is somewhere in the forum. I'll do a search for it tomorrow. You can try too. It's a bit worrying to see many topics spawning about amanita preparation while there are many existing already, which one are the most content rich, we'll find tomorrow perhaps.

Yes, the stipe, or stem.. the leg.

From the book:
Plants of the Gods
Their sacred, healing, and hallucinogenic powers

Quote:

    These Siberian mushroom users had no other intoxicants, until the Russians introduced alcohol. They dried the mushrooms in the sun and ingested them either alone or as an extract in water, reindeer milk, or the juice of several sweet plants. When the mushroom was swallowed as a solid, it was first moistened in the mouth, or pellet for the men to swallow. The ceremonial use of the Fly Agaric developed a ritualistic practice of urine-drinking, since these tribesmen learned that the psychoactive principles of the mushroom pass through the body unmetabolized, or in the form of still active metabolites - most unusual for hallucinogenic compounds in plants.

    An early account, referring to the Koryak, reported that "they pour water on some of the mushrooms and boil them. They then drink the liquor, which intoxicates them; the poorer sort, who cannot afford to lay in a store of the mushrooms, post themselves on these occasions round the huts of the rich and watch for the opportunity of the quests coming down to make water and then hold a wooden bowl to receive the urine, which they drink off greedily, as having still some virtue of the mushroom in it, and by this way, they also get drunk."
