These Studies Suggest AM Affects Sex Hormones and Fertility

I recently read a journal article about the effect of Amanita muscaria on fertility: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9239690/ The study suggests that muscimol can induce an aberration called "hyperactivation" in sperm cells. I read something else that suggests it might not be a bad condition, but I'...

Re: Safe to Try Amanitas on SSRIs?

Thanks, I appreciate the info. I've had serotonin syndrome before and when taking AM alongside my medication last time I felt nothing like that, so I imagine it's fine, and this gives me further confidence. I'll report back after trying a higher dose.

Safe to Try Amanitas on SSRIs?

Hi! I recently bought some powdered AM from last year's harvest. It's a relatively weak batch, and my friend and I each had 4 tsps (~15g) with just a mild benzo high. I'm interested in trying 6 tsps, but I know that Amanitas act as SSRIs, and I am already on 50mg Sertraline daily. Sertraline has a h...

Is it Possible to Experience a Recreational Dose Without Any Hallucinations?

Hi! I tried AM once before and I felt very loose, very light, and felt like I had a lot of energy. It was nice, but I was hoping for slightly more pronounced effects. Still, I don't want to have any effects so strong that I experience delirium or hallucinations. Has anyone experienced a dose that wa...

Can you still prepare 5 year old Amanita muscaria?

Hi! I heard from one anecdotal source that dried Amanita muscaria can still be consumed for the same potent psychoactive effects years after it is harvested. Can anyone verify this claim? Thanks!

Re: Optimal muscimol extraction methods

amanitadreamer Okay, so the powder won't allow you to extract more muscimol/ibotenic acid per volume of AM? Because if that's the case, I probably won't bother with it. I watched the micro/rec dosing videos, but is there one I missed? I thought I should consume a proportion of tea's volume equal to...

Re: Optimal muscimol extraction methods

Donn amanitadreamer I read this on a comment from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=632N1RnStSk&t=134s "This could trigger what I believe is called "muscarine" poisoning. It's where muscimol turns into muscarine and causes you to go into a temporary comatose state. You will be unable to mo...
