Effects of Amanita Mushrooms

After 5 years of researching, experimenting, sharing and developing a foundation for understanding the Effects of Amanita Mushrooms, we are happy to share the following:

Amanita is a genus of fungi that includes about 600 species, ranging from highly toxic to some edible mushrooms. So, understanding which mushrooms you are working with is important. We have focused on 3 species, muscaria, regalis, and pantherina.

Classification

• Kingdom: Fungi
• Division: Basidiomycota
• Class: Agaricomycetes
• Order: Agaricales
• Family: Amanitaceae

While scientists have identified about 100,000 species of fungi, this is only a fraction of the 1.5 million species of fungus likely present on Earth. Edible mushrooms, yeasts, black mold, and the producer of the antibiotic penicillin, Penicillium notatum, are all members of the kingdom Fungi.

Toxicity and Edibility

While many Amanita species are toxic, some are edible. The death cap (Amanita phalloides) is responsible for a significant number of mushroom poisoning cases. Other toxic species include Amanita virosa and Amanita verna. Edible varieties, such as Amanita caesarea and Amanita rubescens, should be consumed with caution due to the risk of misidentification. But we are not here to talk about other mushrooms so let’s get to it.

What Effects Amanita Muscaria will have on you

This is best answered based on dosing¹ and level of decarboxylation² you are working with.

I see many articles claiming misinformation and fear. I encourage you to keep researching and finding the truth that resonates with you.

After 5 years we have seen Amanita muscaria, regalis and pantherina help so many people including ourselves with a variety of different issues.

Working with Amanita Micro Capsules or with Amanita Shake, Amanita Pieces, or Amanita Caps

Micro Capsules are so convenient. A great place to start for those just beginning to learn themselves and their needs.

At .0333 grams per capsule, 1 (amanita muscaria capsule) will not have any perceptual effects at all.

Depending on personal factors perceptual effects begin around 2-5 grams.

The effects experienced at this dose due to high amounts of Ibotenic Acid can be

Euphoric, excited, energetic, talkative, increased awareness, hightened sensory alertness, hunger, inhibitions are lowered, relaxed and ready for you name it.

As you increase the dose with muscaria and regalis you may find unwanted effects. Let’s explore that:

Amanita has 3 alkaloids that you should understand:

Ibotenic Acid, Muscimol and Muscarine.

These all bring their own effects wanted and unwanted. When you see words like Decarboxylation or precent of conversion it has to do with the presence of those alkaloids. These effects maybe experienced differently based on your sensitivities and lifestyle.

Ibotenic Acid may cause Headaches and GI upset.

Muscimol may cause twitches and dissosciation of self.

Muscarane may cause sweats and salvation.

Now that your informed what can you do about that?

If you have sensitivities to ibotenic acid choose our Amanita Slurry or learn how to make one yourself.

If you have sensitivities to muscarine choose Amanita pantherina Slurry or learn how to make one yourself.

Know you can enjoy working with muscimol which has more of the sedative and relaxation benefits than ibotenic acid does.

This boils down to a You issue. What do you need, or rather, what are you in need of that Amanita helps you with?

I know I didn’t make that clear. I’ve seen Amanita interact with others on so many different walks. I can’t even express the “wow!” that it will create in your life if, you can be open minded enough to understanding your needs.

Awakening Roots has established a standard in which to receive Amanita into your life. It is a beautiful beyond mushroom. It makes sense that it has traditionally been used iconically to represent the gifts under the evergreen tree. I cannot express enough how Amanita has transformed the lives of many and mine. It truly is a gift from the beyond.

Remember You create your Amantia Experience. I am here just offering a Beautiful Beyond Mushroom.

If you’re not sure how to Work with your Amanita:

2. Check out my Amanita Mushroom FAQ
3. I have a few educational videos on TikTok
4. If your a serious researcher and want a mycologists opin, or a Pharmacia expert taper, then I suggest the Amazing Facebook group. If you prefer Reddit check r/AmanitaMuscaria : p s : I am a verified vendor in both groups. So shout me out with Love and encouragement it makes me smile!

1. Dosing varies from Micro (small amount) that is sub perceptual (barely if at all felt) to Macro. Macro (Big amount) is clear to the point of feeling. Can be threshold, heroic and beyond.

2. Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO₂). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain.  ↩︎
