Amanita muscaria is variety of mushroom that grows widely almost
everywhere in the northern hemisphere. It is listed as poisonous in
most mycology sources and its use is not common because its effects
can be somewhat unpleasant, though it has been used traditionally by a
number of cultures. There are conflicting reports on whether there has
ever been an A. muscaria-caused fatality. Be careful! It may be
poisonous at high doses or to sensitive individuals.

A. muscaria can be taken orally, there are also some claims that it
can be smoked for effect. All parts of the mushroom are psychoactive,
though there is some evidence that the material just under the skin is
the most potent. The chart below shows approximate oral dosages of
dried A. muscaria in grams (g).
