Amanita
    #7872848 - 01/13/08 10:33 AM (16 years, 19 days ago)

This large specimen was a gift of the coastal pines in Central California. The cap was over 6" across and the stem thicker than my wrist. I believe that fully matured, the cap might have topped 10"... Anyway I haven't submitted any pics in a little while. Sorry for the terrible image quality- I only had my telephone.

Oven-cooked for a few hours, then, when the golden milk has oozed out, the caps seed the nearest pine mulch, and the milk goes into a fine mushroom broth. They actually taste quite good, if you like fungus. Effects were very good, best described clinically as synaesthesia and dissociation with a good dose of well-being and a feeling of being mentally still. This is almost always the effect I have achieved with medium doses. The effects are vastly different from person to person however, so take my description with a shaker full of salt.

I've found them in Crosby, TX before, which isn't that far north of Houston proper.

I found them in mulchy grass.. Near pine trees and other conifers... Birch too I think... Coastal mountains, less than 1000' elevation and around 50 degrees Fahrenheit...

Amanitas muscaria are so beautiful, its hard to believe they're real when you find them sometimes.

I keep hearing that the varieties that grow in North America are not as potent as those in Europe. Can anyone validate this from experience?

I can do some homework and get back to you on the exact species of trees that they were found near... As far as the North American variety being less potent, I can't say because 1. I've never purchased Amanitas from out of the country and 2. There is a great fluxuation in potency dependent on exact time of year, environment, and probably many other factors. I have observed this to be true in my own experiences.

Yup.  This mushrooms chemical constituents are well known to fluctuate between sub-species, genetic populations, season, weather, and geography.  That along with the vast range in report of effects- individuals tolerance and reactions to the chemicals contatined (namely ibotenic acid, muscimol, muscarine)- make this mushroom a complete gamble in my opinion.

Amanita muscaria var. flavivolvata from Santa Cruz, CA in Fall makes me do this.  :projectile:

I've heard this too CC. But I would like to actually see some data or a reference to confirm it. Just for the heck of it. Of course, as a certain crazy and cranky old bastard that used to post the most annoying shit ever used to say, "there's no such things as variation in potentcy! Subbs=cubes, gyms are the same on the east coast or west coast, and 12 year old thai boys are so much better than the vietnamese ones!"

err, i digress.

:lol:

Yeah, I don't know of any data.  However, I have heard it dozens of times, and some of those reports have been from people who's objective opinion i respect...  Of course, as they would admit, that is only their experience as best as they could describe.  But based on the accumulative anecdotes, I am fairly convinced.  It would be a good project for some myco student to work on collecting specimens for analysis.....  Maybe something I will keep in mind over the next few years.  :wink:
