Amanita Research Forum

TL;DR: Is A muscaria var. guessowii weak compared to other variants? I know that conditions change potency, but someone who is normally very accurate in her mushroom knowledge commented that our local variation of amanita muscaria is “weak”. I was under the understanding that all of them (like cube...

Today, finally I suppose, a great resource and repository of unique knowledge is gone. I was "watching over" the forums there to help anyone who desired to cultivate the fleece themselves. I will continue to do so here. Perhaps it is only me who cares, but having finally found and cultivated the fl...

Finally new research into the active components of amanita...as I find articles I will continue to edit this post and add them here. Pharmacologically and Toxicologically Relevant Components of Amanita muscaria https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319553138_Pharmacologically_and_Toxicologically_...

Using this thread to record research into the potential uses of ibotenic acid. And I'm hoping the 2020's bring new research into this and leave the old monkey wrenching of injecting large amts of it into rat brains behind.

YEEE HAW!!! The research is working to understand how the mushroom creates ibotenic acid!!! This is where it should all begin. Once we understand this, we will understand more of the relationship to trees and how it interacts in our bodies, how we can better decarb and more actions of ibotenic acid!...

The topic of fermentation brought up during Amanita Dreamers video on the patent regarding ibotenic acids conversion to muscimol. I think my first thought was the same as most peoples. We can use Amanita while brewing a beer or a wine to give us an alcoholic beverage enhanced with Muscimol. Since t...

I uploaded a vid on rituals, and here I'd really like to create a dump of rituals folks have created in their lives, having to do with amanita or not, entheogens or spirituality or not. For those who've lost their rituals, it would be nice for them to have plenty to read about and maybe try to incor...

Hello, I'm new to this forum and trying to be as well researched as possible before using AM for the first time. I'm well experienced with psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, etc and I realize this is going to be something completely different so just trying to be cautious. But here is my question- my main...
