Yesterday I was out by the ocean and I found what I think is a fly agaric mushroom. I am in new england and I am 99% sure I am correct classifying it. I have never done or seen these mushrooms before and am just interested any one elses experience with them? I am drying it in front of a fan because I read it is better to eat dry. Any input on drying or how to consume it? I can post pics if anyone is interested.

I don't know you or how much you know about shrooms. That being said, look at the possible outcomes.
1. Eat the shroom, have a good trip - Best outcome
2. Eat the shroom, Die or become permanently retarded - Pretty fucking bad outcome
3. Don't eat the shroom, miss out on a trip - kinda sucks
4. Don't eat the shroom, save your life - pretty good outcome.

So basically, best case = a few hours of fun
worst case = well... death

If the risk is 1% that you make the wrong classification... is it worth risking your life?



Now, i am no power hungry politician, so I'm not gonna tell you what you can or cannot eat. So if you eat it, have fun If you die, that sucks, hope u dont.

Haha thanks polar.
Since I am not experienced with this species of shroom (Amanita muscaria) I have done a lot of research.
I am going to try it after drying and only 2 people have died from this species in 1000 years of recorded use, which is good!
I will post in later in the week to explain the trip and with pictures of the shroom.

With that species.... But what if your wrong and its not that species lol. Then im sure there is a way greater chance of death. I would toss it

I am sure of the species. I said it in the post up there. ^^^
I looked up the species closest to it that are poisonous and this one isn't one of those.
If I die I will make sure to let all of you guys know.

Alright cool thanks.

Why not just buy some Fly Agaric to be 100% sure?

Dude, I cannot stress enough how carefull you must be!!! Amanitas are a very dangerous family of mushrooms. There are more than a few that can make you very sick or kill you, and they all resemble one another, especially to an inexperienced mushroom hunter.

You REALLY need to post some pics of them, or check out shroomery.org for more info.

If you really NEED to trip that badly, there are other much safer ways of doing so. Amanitas typically are not that good of a trip, compared to a psilocybin shroom trip.

this is very true amnitas are the one of the only non poisonous mushrooms in muscaria family, and its a legal mushroom its so cheap online just buy some! Your organs with thank you for not potentially killing them.
