PNW A. Muscaria ID
    #7526238 - 10/17/07 12:19 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Since my other thread seems dead and I still need to be 200% sure about this, I'm making a new one with "final" pictures showing the possible concentric rings and such.

I recently found another batch of easily over 100(grown and popping up), so it'd be pretty cool if it was the real deal.






The wart's impression on this cap looks odd.





One piece of the load.

I'm pretty damn sure those are all "Fly Agaric".

Amanita muscaria var. muscaria
or
Amanita muscaria var. formosa

the orangish looking one could be either. I'm pretty sure var. formosa is a little more yellow, and the red just kinda fades with age in var. muscaria.

I'm almost certain that muscaria is the only red species of amanita in North America, but I'm not 100% on that.

I see alot of those every year. I don't mess with those things. They take too long to prepare, and don't give a very good feeling, in my opinion. Just kinda like racey and sweaty.

It's definitly one mushroom I would prepare and eat, if I was about to freeze to death, though.

Its Amanita muscaria.

Make sure you look for the concentric rings on the volva. I can see them in most of your photos.

What do you mean by they take too long to prepare. As in when you cook them?

I agree.

> or

Wrong. : )

Amanita muscaria var. muscaria grows in central and northern Alaska and northern Canada, as well as Siberia, Austrailia, New Zealand and South America.

Red muscaria's found in the continental US are Amanita muscaria subsp. flavivolvata (Singer).

> the orangish looking one could be either. I'm pretty sure var. formosa is a little more yellow, and the red just kinda fades with age in var. muscaria.

Often the orange ones are genetically the same as the red ones, but one of the genes doesn't get activated all the time causing an orange color.

yeah, you bake them really slowly and baste them, with their own fluids. I did it once, and felt like a damn gramma with my mits and spoons and all that woman stuff hangin off me. Afterward, I went and fondeled my vagina and ate icecream to a good episode of "Friends".

Yeah, thats them. There are so many of thoes things around Seattle right now. Too bad they are kind of crappy. I agree with a previous replyer that the work that goes into preparing them isn't worth the effect..

Really? I've read a few "articles" stating that you get a very intense hallucination from them.

i read that method [from a usenet archive] years and years back on erowid and have used it but have found over the last few years that air or sun drying most of the water from then baking them to dryness is effective and less messy [provided it's dry enough inside or sunny enough outside that they don't rot of course].

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

All I got was a lethargic and euphoric feeling, not really noticable. No hallucinations or anything like that.. I was talking to this guy that would eat ones as big as his head and feel the same thing.

Anyone here actually tripped on one? I always thought they were a very intense ride until I tried it and barely anything happened lol


--------------------
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus.
All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the
octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.
But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns.
Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?

I highly recommend that you smoke some weed if eating Fly Agaric...helps to counteract the intense nausea and saliva that happens during the build up.
And the buzz can be very intense...I actually enjoy it more that most other mushrooms, but the build-up is hard to get through, the taste of the tea is horrible, and that delusional state as you come down is pretty strange.
Not a recreational drug, outside of the two hours where you're peaking and enjoying yourself. Slight hallucinations, but more of a body buzz, with waves of intoxication flowing through you.
And it seems that the larger and older the cap, the more chance you'll puke it up before tripping.
