	Amanita muscaria Summary
		Amanita muscaria is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Amanita.
		The active ingredient is excreted in the urine of those consuming the mushrooms, and it has sometimes been the practice for a shaman to consume the mushrooms, and the rest of the tribe to drink his urine: the shaman, in effect, partially detoxifying the drug (the sweat- and twitch-causing muscarine is absent in the urine).
		Amanita muscaria is widely thought to be the Soma talked about in the Hindu scriptures, and is less often also thought to be the amrita talked about in Buddhist scriptures.

	Salvia.ca - Amanita Muscaria
		Muscaria is a hallucinogen, but while you might be able to group LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, and their ilk into the same category, Amanita brings a wholly different hallucinatory experience to the table.
		Muscaria is best taken when cooked or dried because the process of decarboxylation turns the less powerful Ibotenic Acid into Muscimol, thereby maximizing potency, and reducing unpleasant side effects.
		Muscaria is traditionally taken orally, in a gel cap or with food.
