The Truth About Santa and Amanita muscaria

The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) and King Bolete aka porcini (Boletus edulis) are often found growing near each other in the same habitat and season. The fly agaric is mildly toxic, but can be boiled in water several times to remove the toxins. King boletes are delicious sweet nutty meaty mushrooms, one of my favorites. #mushrooms #mycology #mushroomasmr #amanitamuscaria #boletusedulis #porcini | Fascinated By Fungi

Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) it’s the only emoji on your phone and most famous mushroom in the world recognised globally! it helps trees by transferring nutrients into their roots, but if eaten can cause hallucinations and psychotic reactions. I found this beauty wondering around the woods with @allthingsfungi and @lajatattoo For over 4,000 years it was the ingredient in a sacred and hallucinogenic ritual drink called ‘soma’ in India and Iran! It took 9222 shots over 4 days to hatch this amazin
