@Faskil "I don't know... would YOU like to know more about poisonous mushrooms?!"
@Faskil It's a fly agaric, so the correct answer for anyone tempted is you get your reindeer to eat it, then drink the reindeer piss.
@skyportradio @Faskil
Peyote was done with human urine. One would eat 7(?) buttons and drink water.
@stevewfolds @Faskil Humans can eat 5-7 caps of Fly Agaric, apparently after the violent vomiting has subsided you get the hallucinogenic effects:-) yes, Peyote or Psilocybin would be a better option.
@skyportradio @Faskil
We did peyote in natural & synthetic form late ‘60s. LSD quality was still high & the campus cops fended off town police.
@stevewfolds @Faskil Never had the opportunity, it's pretty rare in the UK, I didn't know there was a synthetic version, but we had good LSD and plentiful Psilocybin mushrooms. Interesting about the Mormons, I wonder how many other religions started in similar circumstances. Governments missed a trick there, "Drugs cause religions, just say no" would have been a more effective deterrent
@skyportradio @Faskil Didn’t encounter Psilocybin until a few years later & always in dry form. It was eaten or smoked. Haven’t taken psychedelics in 45 years.

@skyportradio @Faskil
Tried it 1x in ‘70, nausea & a strange high.

Amanita Muscaria is linked to Christianity.

Pet theory is the Mormon church’s founder may have eaten some when he saw god and received golden tablets. I’ve visited the spot and the woods were full of them.

@Faskil It took the lesson from Pratchett - everything is edible. Some things are only edible once.

@Faskil
Actually, ALL mushrooms are edible.

The correct questions should be "how many times", or "how long".

@Faskil "Sorry for the confusion."
@Faskil GGuess I'll stick to asking a real micologist; LOL!
@Faskil Was waiting for "you're absolutely right!"
@Faskil
amanita muscaria isn't that poisonous though. Muscimol is a useful GABA-A agonist. Ibotenic acid (or pre-muscimol) can make you vomit, but it's easy to convert it into muscimol. Just don't mix it up with amanita pantherina
@Faskil Everything is edible once.
@Faskil that one (fly agaric, Amanita muscaria) probably won't kill you. It might make you nauseous for a while, and vomit, if it's not prepared in the right way, and will probably make you high.

@Faskil

all mushrooms are edible once.....

@Faskil some mushrooms are edible just once.
Künstlich, aber nicht intelligent

Ok, irgendwie wissen wir das ja alle, aber nachdem ich kürzlich erfahren habe, dass einer meiner Artikel "redaktionell" mit "KI" bearbeitet wurde, habe ich es mir zur Aufgabe gemacht, mal meine eigenen Vorurteile zu überprüfen - vielleicht ist das ja alles gar nicht so schlimm mit der sogenannten kü

arent those ones specifically also used as drugs?
this actually happened
@Faskil I've seen the "don't you mean a *venomous* snake" line so many times that my brain initially mentally autocorrected it to "venomous mushroom", only to then realize how absurd an organism that would imply.

@Faskil Well, technically it wasn't wrong… poisonous mushrooms are edible _once_.

Repeatability is only a concern if you want to live from the experience.

@Faskil
I know a little about mushrooms. Yeah, red ones with white spots can straight just fucking kill you. Don't be tricked
