AMANITA MUSCARIA
DRIED POWDER – 25 GRAMS
Amanita muscaria mushrooms have significant pharmacological properties. Amanita muscaria has psychotropic effects.
These include a feeling of weightlessness, visual and auditory hypersensitivity, space distortion, unawareness of time, and coloured hallucinations.
The psychotropic effects are produced by compounds that naturally occur in the mushroom called Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid, and to a lesser extend Muscarine. “Classical psychedelics” like psilocybin can also lead to similar effects, but the main difference is that, unlike classical psychedelics, Muscimol does not engage with serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.
The wide range of psychoactive effects have been variously described as depressant, sedative-hypnotic, psychedelic, dissociative, or deliriant; paradoxical effects such as stimulation may occur however. Perceptual phenomena such as synesthesia, macropsia, and micropsia may occur; the latter two effects may occur either simultaneously or alternatingly, as part of Alice in Wonderland syndrome, collectively known as dysmetropsia, along with related distortions pelopsia and teleopsia.
Some users report lucid dreaming under the influence of its hypnotic effects. Unlike Psilocybe cubensis, A. muscaria cannot be commercially cultivated, due to its mycorrhizal relationship with the roots of pine trees.
