But they’re poisonous! You say. And that’s true, you absolutely should not eat raw amanitas. But you know what other mushrooms you shouldn’t eat raw? All of them! Chitin is indigestible!
“Well, sure, but a raw porcini won’t kill me!” That’s true, but you know what will? A Morel! (If you’re small). At the very least they’ll make you as sick as an amanita. And you know what people do with Morels? They eat them! They’re a prize edible!
“Okay, but people eat morrells but they don’t eat Amanitas” okay. Well, take off your fucking anglocentrism glasses because they’ve been eating amanitas in India and Japan since before your country even existed.
So listen up, slice and boil your amanitas in gallons of water, and I mean gallons. Strain and rinse. Boil, strain and rinse again. Guess what you’ve got? A soft, buttery, delicious mushroom. Pour some garlic butter on it, or do it authentic and put it into miso soup as a nice earthy addition.
It’s an edible. Change my mind.
pour butter on mushroomtaste becomes buttery
Listen fucke r
Also, Morrell sounds like an extremely white surname, I’m gonna use it in stuff
Anything you have to boil for 60 minutes to make edible or filter through the kidneys of a reindeer and/or Laplander shaman is not a food item.
Soak 'em sprout 'em eat 'em. Boiling isn’t a requirement
And I definitely know folks who’ve eaten a little raw ; )
Green beans straight off the vine are delicious and no one can make me steam them
Fuck youve reminded me of the fresh beans I had in the garden earlier this year. Now they are all dry and ready for storage. I’ll never forgive you for reminding me how goooopod the fresh beans are.
I feel like of all the things I’ve done that have won me eternal enmity this one’s going to be the easiest to live with. Hope you get some big vines next season!
Don’t worry I ate some beans and got over it. Really I’m just excited for next year it’s true. They went crazy this year so next year hopefully even more beans. And corn. And tomatoes.etc
You can locally source the shaman
I live in a shaman desert
a gnome wrote this
every mushroom is viable furniture, in this thread i will
Every mushroom is edible at least once
That was my first thought too!
Actually edible mushrooms are so easy to grow and find, why not just do that instead of risking this
Amanitas aren’t the pit bulls of mushrooms, they are the hyenas of mushrooms
Actually edible mushrooms
I’m not engaging with this anglocentrism.
Amanitas aren’t the pit bulls of mushrooms, they are the hyenas of mushrooms
Lmao
Let’s compromise and say they’re the wolf dogs of mushrooms?
So you’re speaking specifically of A. muscaria. Leaving out the species name and speaking broadly is dangerous and ignorant…change my mind. The death cap and the destroying angel are most definitely not edible. Educate yourself please!
You know I meant fly agaric, it’s right there in the picture. Yeah, please don’t eat destroying angels lmao
You can (and should) edit your post title, imo.
Sure
Gallons of water is too much water. Eat a mushroom that doesn’t need that!
just gonna leave this here

DOSE: 30 g
If I ever did this mushroom again, I would probably take 10g, maybe 12g. This experience has caused me to realize the silliness of consuming a hallucinogen to escape me. I’m pretty convinced now that all I want to do is live a simple, quiet life of three meals per day with 8-10 hours of sleep, some regular exercise, plenty of action (on projects), and stronger focus at work. The fear I experienced and negative portions of the trip were unnecessary…lmfao
Will it still get you high if you boil them? I don’t want to drink reindeer piss.
Boiling twice will remove the toxins. If you want intoxication, you need to consume them raw.
I don’t fuck with Amanitas outside of sect. Caesareae, which are completely safe, delicious, and much easier to identify than those in other sections.
It’s safer to boil them in lemon juice and and water and then drink the juice. There’s two compounds, both are delirients, but one is toxic. Boiling them in acid reduces the quantity of the toxic one (and in fact turns it into the non toxic one).
Not a deliriant, it’s a weird gabaergic like Ambien
https://m.psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria Muscimol has an atypical mechanism of action. Unlike classical psychedelics (which are 5-HT2A agonists) and classical dissociatives (which are NMDA receptor antagonists), muscimol is a potent GABAA agonist, meaning it activates the receptor for GABA, the brain’s principle inhibitory neurotransmitter. As an agonist, muscimol binds to the same site on the GABAA receptor as GABA itself. This is unlike benzodiazepines and barbiturates, which bind to different allosteric sites on the GABAA receptor.
Muscimol has also been shown to be a partial agonist at the GABAA-ρ receptor, which may contribute to its psychoactive effects. Activation of α1 subunit GABA receptors is responsible for the hallucinogenic effects of certain GABAergic compounds such as z-drugs, including zolpidem, and muscimol.[7]
The effects of isolated muscimol begin approximately one hour after consumption, peaking at 3 hours and lasting a total of 10-24 hours.[8]
Ibotenic acid has been shown to be a potent NMDA agonist as well as a powerful agonist at the group I and group II metabotropic glutamate receptors. Due to in vivo decarboxylation, ibotenic acid is metabolized to muscimol and thus has many similar pharmacological characteristics
Also if you were ever a heavy ambien user, Amanitas don’t do shit. Even the tolerance is related.
So basically they’re edible like how fugu is edible in that you need to prepare them in a very specific way without making a mistake otherwise you’re dead.
They won’t kill you unless you’re pretty small and you don’t cook them at all and it’s hard to mess up boiling something. If you boiled them in too little water or didn’t rinse them or something you’d probably just robo trip a little.
Cool. I wanna see you eat it
I have! I don’t like mushrooms very much and it’s your average mushroom.
I’m amazed at how the most mushrooms are actually edible, there are just a few that will definitely kill you
I fucking love mushrooms so much, coolest lifeforms on the planet by far🍄
Me too for the psilocybin
That’s the cosmic cherry on the cake
might as well overdose on benadryl instead for your trip to hell
Death to America
Benedryl and amantias aren’t comparable. Amantias are far closer to Ambien.
The forbidden one way shroom trip
They’re not even lethal unprocessed unless you’re tiny
