Jump to top. In our culture we always cook morels and limit raw mushrooms on our salads to store-bought Agaricus bisporus. Thus, a field guide author can say that morels are edible because nobody puts them on salads. Denis Benjamin describes a mass poisoning at a banquet occasioned by just such an error having been made in his book, Mushrooms Poisons and Panaceas. If our culture always boiled mushrooms and threw the water away, then the fly agaric would always be listed in field guides as edible.
But what if you want to experience the mind altering effects of eating Amanita muscaria? How much is the right amount, and how much is too much? I have no personal experience eating Amanita muscaria for the purpose of becoming inebriated. From reading in books and on the internet my sense is that a standard dose for those consuming the mushroom for its psycho active qualities is 1 to 2 caps for a healthy adult.
Cap size varies enormously a Northern California muscaria can have cap equal to several Lithuanian specimens and potency varies between specimens. Start with small quantities to work out what a reasonable dose is for you. Be patient. If you are going to experiment, then be prudent, and do so in a safe place. There is probably no point in offering common sense to those who want to push limits.
What I can tell you is that the literature on mushroom poisoning does not seem to be able to provide a single instance of a healthy person dying from consuming an overdose of Amanita muscaia.
This said, the oft quoted case of the death of Count de Vecchi who died of eating Amanita muscaria in demonstrates the foolishness of experimenting when one has a chronic illness. While his case is shrouded in mystery — did he experiment on purpose or did he eat undetoxified Amanita muscaria by accident — he was not healthy to begin with and did not recover from his ill fated mushroom omelet.

The effects appear within half an hour or an hour and a half, the culmination occurs in three hours. A return to normal usually occurs after hours, but some exposure may persist for several more days. Amanita muscaria is known for the unpredictability of its effects — the same dose can affect different people in very different ways. Depending on the place of growth, the accepted amount and body weight of a person, fly agaric can cause a nose leak, decreased blood pressure, increased sweating and salivation, hearing, vision and balance disturbances, mood swings, euphoria or dizziness.
In general, Amanita Muscaria does not cause addiction. At the same time, death from the use of the so-called magic mushrooms to which the fly agaric belongs is associated not so much with the toxicity of the fungus, but with the fact that hallucinations change the perception of the world, and dangerous does not seem dangerous.
In such a situation, a person can behave unpredictably and pose a threat to himself and others. Red fly agaric in large quantities is life threatening.
