That sounded so good, I went shopping and found this:

The beguiling scarlet capped Amanita muscaria is one of the archetypal
shamanic inebriants. Evidence for human use of this mushroom dates back at
least 6000 years to the Uralic peoples of western Siberia, from where it
eventually spread into shamanic traditions and witchcraft throughout
Eurasia. Our mushrooms are foraged from the wild, positively identified as
Amanita muscaria var. muscaria and carefully dried to preserve them
perfectly. 15 gram packets.

Please note that we ran out of stock early this year, but we will again have
more gorgeous specimens once the natural growing season resumes. Check back
sometime in late summer!


$36.00, 2/$65.00
