Join Michael Wilson of Harmony Acres for an in-depth exploration of the psychoactive Amanitas of North America — the isoxazole-containing species bearing ibotenic acid and muscimol.
This class is focused exclusively on taxonomy and identification. We'll take a close look at the species native to the Northeast, and broaden our view to survey the full range of psychoactive Amanitas found across the continent — covering identification characteristics, distinguishing features, and seasonality.

Why would someone take this mushroom as a supplement? Well there may be a few reasons.When we allow ourselves time to set aside with a microdose of Amanita muscaria tincture, or some dried mushroom in tea form, and we say "This is my time to rest and restore" we are already saying to our body that it is safe. Then the muscimol activates the GABA and we can really take a moment to reflect on some things in the past that have traumatized us before. If we are in a safe place in life now, then we can begin to rewrite those neural pathways in the brain to not have the trauma response so activated each time a stimulus occurs.We can step off the timeline of being damaged, and no longer be a traumatized person.
