In the weeks around the winter solstice, you can often find Amanita muscaria mushrooms (fly agaric) tucked under evergreen trees. These mushrooms are quite beautiful, but toxic. They are called “fly agaric” because they were once mixed with milk to kill flies. But did you know that reindeer love to eat them? In the far north where reindeer roam, the Sami people, indigenous to the northern parts of Scandinavia, are known to have used the fly agaric’s hallucinogenic effects for spiritual purposes.

Amanita muscaria is a mycorrhizal mushroom that grows around the world. It is both toxic, tr!ppy, and edible depending on how you process it! They contain ibotenic acid, a potent neurotoxin than can be decarboxylated into muscimol via low pH and heat. . Eating the mushroom raw will lead to severe GI upset and potentially worse symptoms - please ignore any trolls in the comments saying you should eat them raw.

It contains ibotenic acid and muscimol, compounds that affect the nervous system and can cause disorientation, altered perception, and loss of coordination. Wild animals, including bears and reindeer, have occasionally been observed eating this mushroom. In young animals, the effects can appear stronger, sometimes resembling confusion or hallucination like behavior. Amanita
