Good ideas Bruce, think I'll just stay in bed & talk sh#t on supertopo until I go to work. Speaking of marine life, a few tuna swam past me on the smoke bluff loop yesterday.
Locust garden?! Are u nuts?!?!
Fortune kitten is a much more quality Asian culinary venue.

Just gobble them down and drink your own pee. Any good Siberian Shaman worth his salt will tell you that. You think Caribou grow on trees?

you can only eat a small amount, like a 1/4 cap of the amanita, the other ones you can eat as many as you can stomach

It's the ibotenic acid in Amanita muscaria that is the poison and it varies wildly from mushroom to mushroom so it's always a risk fooling around with those ones. Nicer to look at in my opinion. They love birch tree drip lines.

I ate a whole 5" cap once. Whoa. I was camping in Tuolumne and found a bunch of them. After about an hour I started into delirium and just decided to crash. I closed my eyes and after a few breaths I stared to leave my body. I can remember lifting up over Lembert dome and I started to head south and can remember flying over Half Dome. I don't remember anything after that and awoke to the sound of my own breath, thinking it was a bear breathing over me and being to scared to open my eyes. I never wanted to eat any more after that.
Ya wanna hear my sillycybin stories?

Luckily I had read a few books on the subject and was smart enough to do some spore prints to make sure I wasn't eating "the Death Angel". I also met a few people that had tried them. Not something to casually experiment with.

According to Wasson's "Soma, Divine Mushroom of Immortality" Amanita Muscaria has been consumed by a number of ancient cultures including the Vedic and Scandinavian for the mysterious mind altering effects of it's psychoactive ingredient muscimol.
Apparently the Viking Berserkers were high on Amanita's before going into battle.
The Laplanders fed Amanita's to their reindeer to detoxify and drank the urine;aaarrrggghhh.
Amanita Muscaria is the toadstool typically evident in European woodland mythology depicting gnomes and other mythical entities.
They were high.
Amanitas form a symbiotic mycorrhiza (symbiotic fungal association) with pine and birch forests and splendid examples can be found in the autumn over much of North America.
Ingesting them is not for the faint of heart as their texture and flavour is utterly repugnant.
Drying them and chewing a few pieces is achievable if washed down by beer.
The high is unlike psilocybin.
Amanitas are described as toxic but this is probably cautionary due to their psychoactive effect.
Be careful not to confuse muscaria with pantherina a much more toxic version.
Happy shroomin.

Yes, even the silly ones can be scary.
When High Times first came out there were ads for mushroom growing kits. I had to have one. They were great. Eventually, my brother and I built an inoculation hood with the arm-length rubber gloves and we went into production. The first batch had to be tried and we ate what was considered a normal dose-about two grams. Too much. It was a scary trip and I wasn't liking it. I had read somewhere that a gram of Niacin will bring you right down. I didn't read the part that says you get this all over skin flush where you think you are burning up. I thought I was going to die right before I got better. Scared the living crap out of me.
Edit- Yeah Perry, Wasson's was one the books I read. Interesting material.

This is what the Squish guidebook looks like, with a chemical assist.
Great day in the Koots. Forecast high of 21C. Heading for the crags, now that it's warmed up.

Maybe we shouldn't climb today. Let's just sit here.....
That's how the Smoke Bluffs became a climbing area.
"What do wanna do?"
"Oh, man, I'm too stoned to climb."
"Same with me. So let's go do something in the bluffs."
