The genus Amanita contains many species of mushrooms, some of which are among the most toxic mushrooms in the world. However, we are focusing on the psychoactive properties associated with certain types of Amanita mushrooms, particularly Amanita muscaria, also known as the fly agaric, and Amanita pantherina (Panther Cap). Basically, the question on a lot of users’ minds is, “can amanita muscaria make you high?” Well, we are going to answer that question in full detail here today.
The genus Amanita contains many species of mushrooms, some of which are among the most toxic known, as well as some that are highly regarded for their edibility. We have laid out a brief overview of certain types of Amanita mushrooms, categorized by their notoriety and edibility.
There are many other species within the Amanita genus that are neither well-known for their edibility nor notorious for their toxicity. Some of these may have uncertain edibility status or may be understudied.
Now, in order to gain better insight into the psychoactive effects of Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina mushrooms, we need to break down their compounds accordingly.
Amanita muscaria mushrooms have a storied history of usage in numerous cultures and shamanic contexts due to their psychoactive effects. However, they contain zero psilocybin or psilocin. Instead, the primary live ingredients are muscimol, ibotenic acid, and muscarine. In particular, muscimol and ibotenic acid are the main compounds responsible for Amanita muscaria’s psychoactive effects. These compounds can cause altered states of consciousness. Amanita Muscaria can most certainly make you high and hallucinate, which we’ll explain below.
It is crucial to note that the effects of Amanita muscaria and related species can be unpredictable and, in some cases, quite dangerous. Alongside the sought-after psychoactive effects, these mushrooms can also cause a range of negative symptoms, including:
In more severe cases, ingestion can lead to delirium, seizures, and coma. The variability in potency not just from one species to another, but even between individual mushrooms of the same species, adds a high level of unpredictability and risk.
Amanita muscaria and “psychedelic mushrooms” (most often referring to those containing psilocybin such as Psilocybe cubensis) are both types of mushrooms with psychoactive properties, but they differ significantly in their chemical composition, effects, and legal status in various parts of the world.
Yes, Amanita muscaria can cause hallucinations along with a range of other effects. Again, the psychoactive compounds responsible for these effects are primarily muscimol and, to a lesser extent, ibotenic acid.
When ingested, ibotenic acid can decarboxylate into muscimol, which is more potent in its psychoactive properties. These substances can affect the central nervous system and cause altered states of consciousness. To reiterate, the effects can include visual and auditory hallucinations, changes in sensory perceptions, mood changes, euphoria, relaxation, and in some cases, confusion and disorientation.
Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap or false blusher due to its resemblance to the true blusher (Amanita rubescens), is a species of mushroom found in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a part of the Amanitaceae family, which also includes other notable species like the highly toxic Amanita phalloides and the psychoactive Amanita muscaria.
The compounds found in Amanita pantherina are primarily psychoactive and can be quite toxic. Here are some of the main compounds:
These compounds can cause a range of effects, from nausea and dizziness to hallucinations – more on those in a little bit, and delirium. The toxic effects can also include muscle twitching, convulsions, and even lead to more severe cases. The mushroom’s effects are often unpredictable and can vary greatly between individuals, due in part to variable concentrations of the active compounds in different mushrooms and personal physiological differences in absorption and reaction.
The main effects of Amanita pantherina are due to its psychoactive components, primarily ibotenic acid and muscimol. When ingested, these compounds can produce a range of effects that are often unpredictable and can vary greatly between individuals. Some of the reported effects include:
Keep in mind, the dosage and individual sensitivity can vary widely, and there is a thin line between a dose that might induce psychoactive effects and one that can cause some very unpleasant side effects.
Amanita pantherina and “psychedelic mushrooms” (often referring to species containing the psychoactive compound psilocybin, like “Psilocybe cubensis”), are both types of mushrooms that can alter perceptions and consciousness. However, they are quite different in terms of their chemical composition and effects.
Yes, as the ingestion of Amanita pantherina can indeed cause hallucinations due to these compounds. When consumed, ibotenic acid can decarboxylate into muscimol, which is a potent psychoactive compound that can pass through the blood-brain barrier. Again, muscimol acts as an agonist for GABA receptors in the brain, which can lead to altered states of consciousness, including visual and auditory hallucinations, distortions of reality, and changes in perception.
As you can see, all types of Amanita mushroom can make you high and cause hallucinations, even Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina. Still, keep in mind though that the potency of the mushroom can vary widely based on factors such as the region where it’s grown and the specific conditions of growth, making it unpredictable and risky to consume if not handled or produced properly.
Also, due to the high stakes of proper identification with Amanita species, foraging for them is generally not recommended for novices. Hence, as the saying goes, “When in doubt, throw it out”, is particularly relevant here.
