question about fly agaric Shroom (Amanita Muscaria)?

[amook]

First how do you prepare it : is following methods correct?

1-boil the water , add dried grinded shrooms , stir for 10 min .put it in bottle . drink it when it gets cold?
2-fill a capsule with grinded shroom and take it (Much easier) but does it work?
i dont like to smoke it if thats an option.

and also whats the best dose for first time ? i heard its very different depending on which part of world it grows but some ideas would be helpful (i live in uk)

and is it anything near psilocybin or is its different experince ?

Read reports and you will probably notice that the described effects are unlike psilocybian mushrooms. Rather than psychedelic the experience is probably in between delirious, drunk, dreaming+sleepwalking, and entheogenic.

You should really do more research before proceeding, if you did not even know what the effects are like then you clearly have not prepared yourself enough to start asking about preparations and dosage. (Maybe I am underestimating you but it certainly seems this way)

A typical dose on the label of 10x extract IIRC was to take half for a first time, but everything if you are experienced. It was a gram so 10x strength would mean that it is made from 10g dried mushrooms.
Don't take my word for it though, google dried amanita dose and tabulate your findings so that you see what is considered typical and average. Always start low for your first time.

Boil the product before you take it to be sure, drying is supposed to activate the principle chemicals but I took that whole gram once and felt nothing from it. Which is weird because without drying or boiling there would at least be the ibotenic acid that would have made me feel sick and messed up. (It is a neurotoxin).
Better is probably to boil for an hour and not 10 minutes, but again: do some major googling to see if I am not talking out of my a-hole.

Go on Erowid.org first and read a lot of experience reports so that you know what you are getting yourself into. This is no lighthearted matter and you are strongly encouraged to try other substances first and take a lot of time to reconsider.

I just hope you're not identifying them yourself...

The experience was characterized by sedation, drunkeyness, size distortions , and noddyness.

They're not as scary as everyone makes them out to be. Yes, they should be dried.

I believe ibotenic acid does NOT cross the BBB , and does get converted to muscimol .

They're quite enjoyable , but there is a few days of deep tiredness afterwards.

Don't dose more then 5 grams the first time. Ideally you should eat about 2 grams , see how you react, and if so inclined, eat more. There is a LOT of variability with active ingredients.
