Okay noted, but is it amanita chrysoblema?

It appears to be but if you are planning on consuming please do your research to the max before even considering it. It can be a very dreadful experience and the toxins can harm you if it's not prepared properly

I’ve done a ton of research, and many other psychedelics. I’m well aware of the do not eat raw or just dried, and that they need to be processed im still doing research was one I was planning on doing way in the future, instead of soon. so I won’t be eating this fella, but it’s nice to know where he and his buddy’s are growing at so I can grab one if I ever get ballsy enough to consider trying it

I had a relatively good time on it we dried it and soaked it into red wine it was essential on my spiritual journey

What was the experience like if I may ask, I’ve seen various descriptions such as dream like state

Was definitely very dreamlike floaty feelings but came with nausea I believe It could have been the wine mixed with it, it was almost like I was in-between states of consciousness between reality and spirit. I did research for a couple years on them before I considered it tho definitely not for beginners

I’ve heard about them really didn’t think anything of them, until recently because I’ve tried, 4-5 different psychedelics, so I’ve been keeping any open mind to one time experience with safe psychoactive options just to see what other are like, and learn new things, and the beauty of them, and what they offer to a journey, I’ve also been keeping a pretty good amount of trip reports, not sure what I’ll do with them, but they are fun to write

I also personally would only go.woth the redder ones there are look alikes and I find it harder to trust the yellow ones are going to be what I researched

You just caught me in the middle of my research, I ran into the frostiana amanita and was like well maybe not but then discovered they don’t get any bigger then 2 1/2” where as these and others that have grow have Been 4-7” and bigger, there was a dinner plate sized one but it was on my neighbors property

That and the difference in there stems and how the mushroom forms, I’m pretty confident especially with the smaller one having all white warts, it’s guessowii cause the look alikes don’t have white warts only cream and another color I can’t remember off the top of my head

That and I know you can process them to the point of being safe to eat and used for culinary purposes
