Eh, no. You have to dry them out first. Fatal dose is 10-15 and over so you'd survive. But without drying them out there's some lovely vomiting and splitting headaches thrown into the psychedelic mix. More sphincter-opening than consciousness expanding.

These are not fly agaric mushrooms. Maybe the first red one is but the rest have absolutely no effect and are plain red mushrooms.

as others have said, they are not "fly agaric" but instead they are red russula but unsure of the exact species.

@KevinWilliamson I've a friend who boils them for 5 minutes to get the bitter out. he then soaks them in a high proof vodka before freezing them. apparently it prevents the mushroom from rotting or degrading. over the winter he eats a few slices of a frozen mushroom in the morning to combat seasonal depression. (We have some fairly harsh winters in Newfoundland.)

The druids ate them,fasted for 7 days then after that time eating the mushrooms and drinking water, passed water and stored it in cups,the pure pscychodelic content would be in the water.
