Amanita sucks. Not a set and setting thing. I ate about 5 times the amount I was told and got like light stoniness or like spaced out waking dreams. No body load I remember but it's been more than a decade. Fly agaric isn't related very closely with psilocybe's at all. Save your money and buy some cubes or whatever psilocybe you have access to. After you understand what it means to trip then knock yourself out with the amanita's if they are properly prepared. They are poisonous otherwise. You can probably buy muscarinic acid (the active ingredient I think) and use it that way but they don't taste bad that I remember.

Muscaria is actually a pretty good culinary mushroom if you remove the water-soluble muscimol and ibotenic acid by parboiling it in a large pot of water.

It has a pleasant savory flavor that's slightly nutty and it sears nicely even after being boiled.

I do rather enjoy the taste, but I’ve never actually come across an edible mushroom I disliked.

Stropharia Ambigua is edible but supposedly tastes how it smells: like rotting leaves. There's also some bitter/spicy Russula I've only tasted raw which are supposed to taste pretty awful even after cooking.

Yeah I was eating whole dried caps I believe and ate two or three. I never would have been able to just munch that much plant matter of cubes without feeling sick. The same place I bought the amanita I bought Kratom and Salvia and of the three legal highs the amanita did the least by far.
