  • Holy shit dood, that's alot of amanitas. Where do you live, I live in California, I can't find these things anywhere.

  • @Tenatiouz These were mostly found on a campus, but I also find them in the forest.

  • You can join Kahn Academy with this field work and practical info :-)

  • @FHomeBrew What is Kahn Academy?

  • Hey SnowWalkerOne,

    From where I come, older people who like to gather mushrooms say that you shouldn't pick mushrooms, but rather cut them at the base with a knife, so that more of them would grow. Do you think that is true?

    P.S.: Hail the all mighty space-chicken.

    Sincerely your minion:DDD

  • @wyvern175same area, by gently picking them, and it doesn't seem to harm them from coming up the next year. Most of the bulk of the mushroom is under ground, and isn't harmed by picking, although it wouldn't hurt to cut them with a knife. Some mushrooms you need to pick the whole thing, in order to correctly key them out. So I recommend for beginners to pick the whole thing. I plan on doing another video to answer these questions.

  • I heard you could piss and drink it up to 6 times before it lost its potency. It is a deliriant. Not many folks around here like it. Not like psilocybe cubensis. Hey, do a video of you collecting psilocybe! Cool!

  • I'm in the mood for mushroom soup.

  • Beautiful video. Where were these mushrooms found?

  • I have many of the bright red variety in my yard. I thought they were poisonous

  • @SnowWalkerOne What State/County I mean. I'm in California, so I'm trying to pin down where I can get some of these wild ones. Also I wanted to ask if you tried eating the Amanitas and recycling your urine for the Mind Altering affects. I'm getting into the old drug religions, and trying to find a way to get back to the basics. I was wondering if this type of conscious alterations can help in the process of learning. Thanks again for your videos, I enjoy them all.

  • @wakeangel2001 I think that each mushroom can have a lot of variety in the levels of intoxicants. Temperature, rainfall, etc effects the power of each. It might be good to try a small amount before going for a full experience. Please be respectful and be thoughtful when considering this fungi!

  • HAHA' Kv1901 got Disabled' so :-D

  • George Clooney?

  • I like the ones with the red spots

  • Beautiful. Also interesting to see the immature Amanita cut in half. It was a little harder to see the inner structure than I thought it would be, but maybe it doesn't come through as visible on video as it does in real life? First time seeing the yellow version of muscaria too. Everywhere else has pictures of the red ones only for the most part.
