Fuck you. Stop spreading false information. I know people who have eaten 4 of them along with like 2 grams of psilocybin shrooms and only had a hefty trip with no bad side-effects. If the amanitas has a red cap, it won't kill you to eat ONE like you said. Shit, the other forum I visit would ban you for that post. And it doesn't belong in this topic either.

man you must be out of your mind. did i say AMANITA MUSCARIA? no i said AMANITAS. that is an extremely deadly family of mushrooms which people who plan on mushroom hunting must be aware of. you must not know anything at all about mycology otherwise youd be well aware that for the aspiring hunter this family is a
DEFINATE No no.
i posted this information for someone who might be considering hunting because it might save their lives. why dont you read up before you jump to conclusions. and the other forum I post in, called the shroomery, is full of mycologists and experts who are constantly warning of just such a family of mushrooms. i will say this again : if you are hunting mushroom and you are not an expert
STAY AWAY FROM THE AMANITA FAMILY there is a reason why amanitas have earned the names like " death cap" and "destroying angel"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanitahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_phalloidesill go ahead and accept your apology.
i was not sensationalizing. if you accidentaly mistake one of these mushrooms for an edible or psychoactive you WILL die a very slow, painful death of liver failure. This genus is responsible for approximately 95% of the fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning.
and btw. amanita muscaria aint that great either. i would never eat those for a trip anyways since i can find p. cubensis easily. taken from wiki:
About one gram of A. muscaria or 50-100 mg ibotenic acid is considered a toxic dose.[37] [38] Ibotenic acid, a compound present in A. muscaria, is a powerful neurotoxin that is used as a "brain-lesioning agent" and has shown to be highly neurotoxic when "injected directly into the brains of mice and rats."[39]
brain lesioning...hmm i think in layman's terms that means holes in your brain.
