From Wikipedia :: Amanita the fly killer (Amanita muscaria), commonly known as crazy mushroom, or fly agaric, is a basidiomycete of the genus Amanitis. It is also a muscimol mushroom. Endemic throughout the temperate and cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere, Amanita has been inadvertently introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere. Generally it forms a symbiotic species in pine and birch plantations, and is now a truly cosmopolitan species. It is associated with various deciduous and coniferous trees.
Arguably the most iconic mushroom species, Amanita muscaria l is a large, white-gilled, white-spotted, usually red mushroom. It is one of the most recognizable and common mushrooms in popular culture.
Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths from ingesting Amanita are extremely rare and have involved ungodly large quantities. After being boiled twice with water drained off – which weakens its toxicity and dissolves the mushroom's psychoactive substances – it is eaten in parts of Europe, Asia and North America.
All varieties of Amanita muscaria, specifically var. muscaria, are known for their hallucinogenic properties, with the main psychoactive components being the psychoactives ibotenic acid and muscimol. A local variety of the mushroom was used as an intoxicant and entheogen by the indigenous peoples of Siberia and by the Sami, and has religious significance in these cultures. There has been much speculation about the possible traditional use of this mushroom as a tonic in other places such as the Middle East, Eurasia, North America and Scandinavia.
