Re: questions

Not quite, it's a little more complex: Heat : converts -on itself- up to 30% ibotenic acid to muscimole, IF temperature is between 70 and 75 degree Celsius in a dry environment (so air drying at lower temps or cooking in water does not count). Cookin g : produces just a hot water extract (also calle...

Re: tea

Amanita_Muscaria_ : Drying on itself is just for preservation. BUT -additionally to what Marv correctly mentioned- if you sun-dry them (or let UV light hit your mushrooms) a certain percentage of ibotenic acid will be converted to muscazone. While heat drying will convert some ibotenic acid into mu...

Re: Muscazone and 5-Aminomethyl-2 (3H)-oxazolone

Funny, I started to ponder about similar questions.... bandicam2018-08-1422-50-50-200.jpg IMHO this is all, that should concern us.... the IA.Muscimol / MZ.Muscimol stuff is -by all chemical standards- humbug. <in the fresh mushroom, there is a lot of IA, and there are two conversion "branches": the...

Re: DMSO converts ibotenic acid to muscimol 100% yield and enhances it.!?

@Marv: Jep.... the brown santa brought me a gift today.... :D Started immediately my first experiment..... Will DMSO come out of a watery solutions if this solution is cooled down to approx. 6 degree Celsius? :? If my test should be successful, it would provide us with a way to get rid of the DMSO i...

Re: Curing Dried Amanita Muscaria

Well, I guess there are several ways to achieve the conversion by curing it one way or another. H-G. Schaaf in Hamburg teaches several ways, but most of them take some time. In your case, I actually don't get the point of your objection against the lemon tek... It does not take THAT long to do, and ...

Re: Flu/cold

Please correct me if I'm wrong: You wrote, you had shivers, so I understand it, that you probably had fever....?! After taking the AM, did your dreams change? Can you remember the dreams you had under the influence of AM during your infection? Did they portrait in any (for you) significant way the h...

Re: Preparing before drying

As a rule of thumb : Don't pick ANY mushroom (be it amanita or some other mushroom) some other animal has nibbled on. No holes, potentially made by some worms or maggots. That means I am somewhat picky.... But you know : Garbage in, garbage out.... If you want a fine product, you need fine ingredien...
