is a fly multicellular or unicellular
The Amanita muscaria is a mushroom that is known as the fly amanita. The fungus is found in forests of the Northern Hemisphere. It is found in Hindu Kush, Central America, and even the Mediterranean.
Psychoactive mushrooms contain either psilocybin (in the case of psilocybes) or ibotenic acid (in the case of amanita/fly argaric).
The common name of amanita muscaria is fly agaric.
Amanita Muscaria, AKA "Fly Agaric" or "Toadstool" is a halluciogenic mushroom which CAN be poisonous in large amounts. However, it can be dangerous in small amounts, as everyone reacts differently to mushrooms, poisonous or not. In Siberia, A. Muscaria was used for shamanic purposes as an alternate method of acheiving a trance-like state.
Mushroom aren't all bad. Agaricus bisporus, the common Parisian mushroom is completely edible. But there are some hazardous mushrooms, like Omphalotus olearius, the jack o'lantern mushroom (it glows in the dark!) which being consumed can cause intoxication that can derive into vomiting or diarrhea. Moreover, there are lethal fungi, like Amanita muscaria, the fly mushroom (where the smurfs live), which after being consumed can cause death in less than 30 minutes.
Amanita Muscaria (Latin) - Fly Agaric (Common Name). A mushroom of the amanita family which has a distinctive red cap and white spots. Known to contain ibutenic acid and muscimol - chemical substances which produce an intoxicating delirious effect. So much do reindeer love this plant, they will drink the urine of other reindeer whom have consumed the fungi.
Because the fly agaricus (Amanita muscaria) does not contain psilocybin. It therefore isn't much fun and there is no need to ban it. Why are all the deadly mushrooms legal and the psilocybin mushrooms (which have never caused a death) are illegal?
Fly agaric is a very poisonous mushroom. It was used to make a natural pesticide in the past
multicellular
A reason to think about eating Amanita muscaria is because it's an outsized mushroom that, as I saw on the Central Coast, can flush in huge numbers. I could easily have collected four grocery bags on my last trip, which might have made many good eating down the road.And good eating is that the real reason I will be able to prefer to eat fly agaric once or twice a season. It had been a delicious mushroom fried in butter, and that I suspect it'll make an excellent better-preserved mushroom if the Italians or Latvian' experience is any indication. At the very least, it'll be a conversation starter!
