I know it's a joke but... the fly agaric is one of those mushrooms that's been a key component in ancient shamanic rituals. Some speculate that this is one of the ingredients of soma, the "drink of the gods" in Vedic rituals. I came across and picked some in the beginning of autumn myself. Would have tried eating, but since they were from near a lake and sandy (they say it's not a good idea to wash the shrooms, and just wiping didn't really make the sand come off), so I decided to make a tea. Made 2 lots of the tea, the first time was low dosage on purpose (as I had never tried those mushrooms before myself and figured I'd tread carefully), the 2nd time I made a more potent concoction... in any case, hardly felt any effect at all in either one of those times, for better or for worse.
