FLY AGARIC MUSHROOMS (Amanita Muscaria)

Amanita Muscaria, commonly known as fly agaric or fly amanita is a basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus Amanita.  Fly Agarics are native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere.  Fly Agaric Mushrooms is quintessentially a toadstool; it is a large imposing white-gilled, white-spotted, usually deep red mushroom, one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture.  Amanita muscaria or Fly Agaric is generally considered poisonous.

The Fly Agaric mushroom has had a religious significance in Siberian culture.  The common names in English are fly agaric or fly mushroom, are generally thought to derive from its European use as an insecticide, sprinkled in milk. This interpretation is supported by the mushroom's names in a number of other languages e.g French  Amanite tue-mouches, i.e. "fly-killer amanita". The fly-killing agent is now known to be ibotenic acid.  Another compound isolated from Fly Agaric Mushroom is 1,3-diolein which is an insect attractor.  An alternate derivation proposes that the term fly- refers not to insects as such but rather the delirium it can cause resulting from the fungus. This is based on the medieval belief that flies could enter a person's head and cause mental illness.

The Fly Agaric is a large conspicuous mushroom.  Amanita muscaria is generally common and numerous where it grows.  Fully grown Fly Agrics have a bright red cap, which is usually around 8-20 cm (in diameter, though larger specimens have been found. The red color may fade after rain and in older mushrooms. After emerging from the ground, Fly Agaric Caps are covered with numerous small white to yellow flecks (warts).  Fly Agaric gills are white, as is the spore print.  The stem is white, 5-20 cm high.. Fresh Fly Agarics have no associated smell other than a mild earthiness.  Fly Agaric / Amanita Muscaria contains a number of biologically active agents.  Muscimol (3hydroxy-5-aminomenthy-1-isoxazole) is the most significant.  It is the product of the decarboxylation or drying of ibotenic acid, another important compound in the biochemistry of Fly Agaric. 

To buy Fly Agaric Mushrooms, most people use the Internet site Arena Ethnobotanicals.
