Decarb 20 minutes vs 3 hours?

I've decarbed Amanita using Amanita Dreamer's method of making tea from dried mushrooms by boiling them lightly for about 20 minutes. I've just recently come across this page which says to boil for 3 hours with the pot lid on and to pay very close attention to pH adding citric acid as necessary thro...

Amanita muscaria var. guessowii in western US?

Hello, everyone. I find these yellowish/orangish Amanita here in northwestern Washington State. I thought they were Amanita muscaria var. guessowii, but everything I keep reading about these mentions their habitat as being eastern north America.

Has Amanita helped you reduce Adderall usage?

Wired has an article about an Adderall shortage in the US and I started thinking about some of the discussions I've read on this forum about treating ADHD. Just wondering if anyone here has reduced or eliminated their dependence on Adderall. How did it go? Was it hard to do, or did Amanita help stra...

What food dehydrator do you use?

Just wondering if you use a food dehydrator on your Amanita and if so if you could share your experience with it.

Anyone have a Breville Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro?

found these growing at home today

Just found these today in western WA state. They're a pale yellowish, which is more yellow than panthers I've found, but not really yellow enough to be guessowii. Anyone have thoughts to what they could be?
Cheers!
