Re: Dispute with drying temps and times in relation to potency!

Hi all, Someone on a Facebook mushroom group I'm in in basically contradicts all the science beliefs of Amanita Dreamer. Namely that ibotenic acid is highest when the mushroom is in Young stage growth phase and that drying at high temperatures causes loss of potency. She sent me a conversion table ...

Re: Big News

I may have done it. I may have found an affordable way for us to get lab tests on samples. It's a long story and I won't go into it publicly here, but I have a contact that regularly gets lab work done in India and the same test that costs $2000 dollars was maybe $100 dollars there and he works wit...

Re: Got some Amanita and want to microdose, now what?

According to Donald's Teeter book "Herb of immortality " it's all correct, you can dry them 40 C-50C in shaded place for 1-2 days, if they are crispy dry it's all good :D Most of the information in Teeter's book has been found to be false time after time, by scholars and the scientific community. T...

Re: Help buying a spectrophotometer

well, you could buy a older generation like the Bausch & Lomb Spectronic 20... they run around 400 bucks and require a testing agent that is fairly easy to come by... they were the industry standard for over 30 years... or you can purchase a newer complicated computer enhanced version like that Col...

Yup, they are crispy and dry, but I know @amanitadreamer suggests drying them at a warmer temp, 70-80 degrees celsius I believe. I was just keen to convert as much of the Ibotenic acid as possible. Just hoping for some guidance from people who have done or are doing similar. I did nibble just a rea...
