Скачать или смотреть How to safely prepare the fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) as an edible mushroom 🍄

Amanita muscaria is a mycorrhizal mushroom that grows around the world. It is both toxic, tr!ppy, and edible depending on how you process it! They contain ibotenic acid, a potent neurotoxin than can be decarboxylated into muscimol via low pH and heat.

Eating the mushroom raw will lead to severe GI upset and potentially worse symptoms - please ignore any trolls in the comments saying you should eat them raw. When boiled twice in water (as depicted in my video) you can dilute out the toxin, making it safe to eat like any other mushroom (it is decently tasty). If you dry them out, you can brew a tea with muscaria to make an entheogenic tea. Muscimol is a GABA agonist and feels similar to alcohol, it can induce a drunken delirium but is fundamentally different from ps!locyb!n. I have used low doses of Amanita muscaria to help with sleep, but I don’t enjoy the feeling from higher doses.

Many people seem scared to touch Amanita muscaria because of its red color. The toxins in mushrooms are generally water soluble, but not fat soluble, meaning they cannot penetrate our skin, making them safe to touch.
