Still, experts warn consumers about a mushroom species that could cause <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;temporary insanity&#8221;: Amanita muscaria. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The warning comes after one person <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36210279\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slipped into a coma <\/a> due to the accidental consumption of Amanita muscaria. Aged 44, the patient <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was admitted to the emergency department for altered consciousness, malaise, and nausea, despite having <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no previous medical history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The species, also referred to as &#8220;fly agaric,&#8221; is legal across every U.S. state except Louisiana. However, most field guides note that the mushroom is poisonous, with toxicity usually resulting in<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8216;pantherina\u2013muscaria&#8217; syndrome. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary in Florida recently announced that it sold edible snacks enriched with A. Muscaria, as well as mushroom-derived gummies, capsules, and joints.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Florida State Representative, Michael Grieco, believes that Chillum Mushroom and Hemp Dispensary is &#8220;misleading the public&#8221; by advertising &#8220;magic&#8221; mushrooms. Grieco is an avid supporter of psilocybin legalization in Florida for treating PTSD and depression in controlled, clinical environments.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Amanita Muscaria: How Does It Affect the Body?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/drugpolicy.org\/drug-facts\/psilocybin-mushrooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drug Policy Alliance<\/a>, there is minimal\u00a0risk of fatal overdose with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/psilocybin-combining-cannabis-psilocybin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">psilocybin mushrooms<\/a>, but this doesn\u2019t mean that consumers shouldn\u2019t be cautious. The same cannot be said for Amanita muscaria. Psilocybin-free, the mushroom is laced with muscimol, which stimulates similar receptors to alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In most cases, muscimol exerts a calming effect. In comparison with alcohol, muscimol produces a heavier sleep-inducing effect. While some consumers may tumble into a state of nausea after ingesting Amanita muscaria, others may enjoy the experience.<\/p>\n<p>The mushroom is dissimilar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/psilocybin\/types-of-magic-mushrooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">typical psychedelic substances<\/a>, such as psilocybin, LSD, DMT, and mescaline. Lethargy is a significant side effect of A. Muscaria, which is also renowned for causing illusions and disassociation. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mushroom is usually consumed in dried form or brewed into tea. Typically, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thethirdwave.co\/psychedelics\/amanita-muscaria\/#_ftn7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> kick in within 10 minutes of consuming 1-4 mushrooms. Duration depends on the dose, but the mushroom&#8217;s effects are known to linger for 4-8 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each person&#8217;s unique biochemistry can affect the mushroom&#8217;s overall effects. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thethirdwave.co\/psychedelics\/amanita-muscaria\/#_ftn7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Australian mycologist Caine Barlow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, low doses of 0.03 to 0.17 ounces can be &#8220;quite pleasant,&#8221; whereas high doses can become &#8220;difficult to manage&#8221; for most people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During positive experiences, consumers may feel euphoric and have a &#8220;sense of being in a dream-like space.&#8221; On the other end of the spectrum, the mushroom could trigger a bout of unwanted side effects, such as lack of coordination, vomiting, detachment from reality, size distortion, flying sensations, and repetitive thought patterns and behavior, better known as &#8220;looping.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mycologist Describes Amanita Muscaria as &#8216;One of the Most Dangerous Mushrooms&#8217;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the outcome of a case study featured in the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7977045\/#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine<\/span><\/a>, <i><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amanita muscaria is &#8220;considered to be one of the most remarkable and beautiful mushrooms.&#8221; The shroom grows with a red or orange cap dotted with tiny white plaques.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of its extraordinary appearance, the chances of accidental and severe intoxication are low. However, the mushroom&#8217;s distinctive white plaques may wash off after heavy rainfall. As a result, Amanita muscaria can be easily mistaken for an edible mushroom called Amanita caesarea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ancient cultures residing in the Russian Far East are believed to have used Amanita muscaria as medicine. Regardless, leading mycologist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Paul Stamets said during an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kxBSuwRXynE&amp;t=652s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2019 that the mushroom was &#8220;one of the most dangerous mushrooms,&#8221; and it caused &#8220;temporary insanity.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Else Are Experts Saying About This Psychedelic Mushroom?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I definitely advise not doing this,&#8221; he said about the species of the Amanitaceae family, which <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">releases its main effects via the central nervous system<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clinical manifestations of fly agaric poisoning are unpredictable, whereas the likelihood of death depends on the ingested dosage and symptomatic\/supportive therapy management. While some users report depression after consuming A. Muscaria, others claim to feel stimulated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long story short, if you don&#8217;t want to find yourself scrambling through forests on all fours at midnight or walking 10 miles through the city with no recollection of the experience the following day (and that&#8217;s just on a good trip), it&#8217;s probably best to avoid a couple of caps of this mushroom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, low dosages may provide some therapeutic relief. Research has shown that muscimol possesses stress- and anxiety-busting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologynetworks.com\/neuroscience\/blog\/harnessing-the-therapeutic-potential-of-muscimol-349541\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">properties<\/a>. Nonetheless, fly agaric is a certified hallucinogen and should be consumed cautiously.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psychedelics can be life-transformative tools that harbor the potential to enhance mental well-being and bolster the quality of life.
