Fly Agaric Amanita muscaria mushrooms, the highly visible and strikingly beautiful mushroom is yellow to red in color and speckeled with white. Fly Agaric Mushrooms are probably humanity's oldest ethnobotanical. Fly Agaric's history has it associated with both Shamanic and magical practices and it was identified as the "Soma" of the ancient (4000 BC) Rig Veda by Gordon Wasson. So Fly Agaric mushrooms have historical use as far back as we have history, and it shouldn't be hard to suppose that prehistoric man, in his activities as hunter/gatherer, recognized that there were mushrooms and other plants that had benefits not related to hunger.
Our ancestors must surely have been intrigued by the Amanita muscaria. They appeared magically from nowhere, in strange and beautiful shapes and colors and gave magical visions of the beyond when eaten.
Today Amanita muscaria mushrooms are widely known: the Alice in Wonderland mushrooms, the fairytale mushrooms regularly seed in fairy tale books. Yet most people aren't aware that they are, in fact, real.
These outstanding strains of Amanitas were harvested this season in the mountain-forests of Arizon, Washington state and Siberia. They are harvested at just the right time and then slowly and carefully dried. Our Amanita muscaria mushrooms are of the highest quality.
A must have addition to any ethnobotanical collection.
