It's a choice edible. When fresh. Texture is like chicken. Cook it like chicken, it tastes like chicken.
I took that picture Sunday morning. We've had a run of wet, cloudy weather. That spot has produced several flushes this year. I don't eat wild mushrooms, but I love to find them and identify the ones I don't already know.
Amanitas are straight poison.
After you’ve had cubensis, you too will know this to be true.
Sure Amanitas will fuck you up, but in a bad way and I have to question these researchers who claim it to be Moska-lol
As a university student I studied ethnomycology and am old enough to have seen Terrence McKenna and Jonathan Ott in person. I too worship the mushroom, just not the evil Amanitas and flyagarics-those are excellent as organic insecticides if you wanna extract via ethanol or some crap along those lines
Amanitas and fly agarics are very proliferate all along the eastern sea aboard and never once have native Americans ever used them as a sacrament. Don’t know if the western tribes ever got into psilocybin but oaxcan Mexican shamans knew about them for sure and reluctantly turned on the west on the 1940’s which led to the time life article and cover
Hope this helped and happy shroomin!
We found a lot of amanitas growing in and around our canna garden. I thought they were A. frostiana, but on another forum they were believed to be muscaria. Which didn't seem to be right as ours had the scales but were a yellow golden brown.
Anyways they could be the best magic mushrooms of all time, but I wouldn't consume them... because of the risks. Still fun to find them before they over ripen and go from mushroom to just mush.
