Amanita Research Forum

Thank you for the recommendation. I just made a small order there - if it's delivered unmolested by Chilean customs I'll go back for more. I'm really looking forward to my first taste of Amanita and later to compare and contrast to what I hope to find growing here next season.

I think I see a pattern around the edge of the cap that looks a bit like the lines some coins have on their edges - which is something I think I've seen on pictures of Amanita jacksonii...

I'm in Chile and Amanita definitely grows locally but I missed the season - again. Send me a PM or ask anything you'd like in this thread.

It would be interesting to mix a little Amanita powder with a few drops of DMSO and simply apply it to the palm...

I have no experience with preparing Amanita muscaria for consumption but I'm curious about the practice of drying these mushrooms to a crisp and then waiting months for ibotenic acid conversion. I understand that a freshly picked mushroom contains too much water to do anything other than rot but sur...
