I seem to only find conflicting info and nothing in the wiki about Aminita Muscaria and would like to get some of the more experienced members' opinions and obviusly as well as those who have actually tried them before.

I have 1oz dried Muscarias caps and would like to experience them as safely as possible. I'm fully aware that it may be a less-than-plesant experience but would like to minimize as much as possible while still experiencing the psychedelic aspect of it.

There is conflicting posts about heat-drying and boiling in water to convert the "bad" chemicals, does anyone have any clarity on this subject? ...maybe even a quick tek?

The reason you're seeing this "conflicting info" is because the conversion can happen with either method-or so they say. Perhaps the wiki is written unclearly, i haven't read it, it wouldn't be unheard of.

I can't give any info beyond that, nor condone or castigate using AM, although I'd say be very careful and know what you're doing and getting into.

Good luck.

Thanks, I will be careful, the bad effects seem like those of ayahuasca for the most part. There arent any teks in the wiki, just some on the forums from a while ago but the thread seems to drop off or stray into unrelated talk. A few people have said they have done them quite regularly.

I'm wondering if the drying is enough or if heat should also be used. I am also wondering what, if anything, else needs to be done in prep since I enjoy the taste of all types of mushrooms. I saw a thread about Grape Juice tek and a few others but nothing specific, so I thought I'd ask here first instead of looking elsewhere.

I'm about to try them too
I got some info from different people using them "regularly"
I used the aging technique to transform the ibotenic acid into muscarine. I got some harvested last year so that's good
People experience a sleepy phase (we recomended me to have a sitter, in case someone purge in the sleep) with a really trippy dream state, following by a phase of extra energy.


I'm still confused about the dosage, if anybody can share recomendations ?

Bump. Hoping someone here has some experiences with A. Muscaria, its so hard to find good advise on this subject and would prefer first-hand knowledge.

I became interested in AM after they started coming up all over town last fall. Will definitely be playing with them when they come up again.

I've read that either boiling, or drying till it's crispy whether it's air, sun, or heat dried.

The ones I picked last fall dried wonderfully sitting on napkins on top or my homes radiators.


As for dosing, I've read that dry weight wise, the dosage was upwards of five grams? I may be wrong about that..
But anyways I would start small.. a gram... Maybe two... And work up from there since potency could vary pretty greatly as with most things in nature.

Edit: I had intended to include this, tek wise... My plan for trying them is to dry first with my above method, or in the oven if we haven't fired up the boiler yet, and then boil them in water for a good while, strain and drink the water.

Otherwise I would powder them and fill gel caps with the powder. Ime with cubies this helps to eliminate nausea, especially on the come up.

Ok, I have prepared amanita by heating 5 crushed grams dried in water at 180-190 for 15minutes and then drinking. Got really drunk and nauseaous. Probably didn’t heat long enough. The other method I tried was mixing the crushed up caps into honey and letting that sit for a month. Took about a gram or two of that and it was uplifting without any nausea or drunkenness. Use enough honey to get it all covered, not much more. I would put it all in the honey because it will help preserve the psychoactive compounds, unless you are planning to try one of ambrosia society’s teks. Then I would keep some dry for that
