Let’s talk about my experience with higher doses of Amanita. Specifically, Pantherina Vs Regalis.
I personally find myself gravitating toward the pantherinoid group rather than the muscarioid group.
Now, while regalis is an incredibly beautiful and powerful mushroom, it does fall under the muscarioid category. Because of that, it naturally carries higher concentrations of muscarine.
At lower doses, that isn’t usually a problem. Once the dose is pushed higher, I begin experiencing very noticeable muscarinic effects.
For me that shows up as profuse sweating and excessive salivation, which can quickly become uncomfortable and distracting.
For that reason, when I’m looking to go deeper with Amanita, I choose pantherina as my preferred ally.
That being said, even with pantherina, I approach with great caution. This is not a mushroom to take lightly. While it can open remarkable doors, too much Amanita is never enjoyable.
The experience demands respect, and overindulgence comes with consequences.
If you ignore that and push too far, Amanita has a way of “slapping you back,” and it can be a very harsh and humbling lesson.
So in short, while regalis and pantherina are my two favorites, when it comes to higher-dose journeys, pantherina is the tool I trust. But always with reverence, always with restraint, and always remembering that Amanita is a teacher best approached with respect rather than excess.
I hope that gave you some insight on Pantherina vs. Regalis and my experience with higher doses of Amanita. Out of all the varieties, those two are my personal favorites to work with.
