1. aminata muscaria

magic mushrooms are psylociben not aminata. But it is curious that the long history of aminata muscaria as a hallucinogenic is only just coming to light. At least for me. This is the second reference to it I've seen this week.

3. Excerpt: Cognitive effects

Cognitive effects

Consciousness disconnection: Many users report a distinct dissociation from their surroundings while on Amanita muscaria.

Cognitive euphoria - This results in feelings of physical euphoria which range between mild pleasure to powerfully all-encompassing bliss.

Dream potentiation - Because of the sedating nature of Amanita muscaria, many people fall asleep before the prominent effects take effect. These individuals report extremely vivid and often lucid dreams.

Empathy, love, and sociability enhancement - While this effect is less powerful than that of MDMA or MDA, it is still prominent.

Unity and interconnectedness - While this effect is less powerful than that of MDMA or MDA, it is still prominent.

Existential self-realization

Immersion enhancement

Increased music appreciation
