Apparently, that's a fly agaric, which some sources on the internet say can be used to get you high. I still wouldn't do it unless an actual mycologist told me that it was okay

    Not a mycologist but...

    Fry in a bit of butter. Taste is really good, i guess the muscimol is also a flavor enhancer. Cooking flashes off the other toxins. If eaten raw it will be a night on the toilet.

    Can make you nauseas even when cooked, depends on your biology in general or on a given day. High is similar to alcohol. But it's also a sleep aid similar to ambien.

    Red cap with white specks, otherwise white. veil annulus, gilled, white sporeprint. Fruits in late summer through fall.

    I've done it a few times. Colours pop, some mood change, but overall it's weak and not worth it. I didn't get negative effects, it's just a crap mushroom experience if you can get ahold of psilocybin mushrooms.

    Seconded.

    Should prolly try shamans piss version of amanitas. You know where a proper geezer who's been eating these for decades dries them properly, then eats a whole bunch, then pisses in a dish and then you drink the piss.

    That would probably get closer to the roots of what amanitas are about. I had a similar very mild but in no way negatively experience as you.

    Laid on a sofa and it felt slightly like as if on a magic carpet through space. But like, that needed imagination, I wasn't experiencing that, but if I had to describe what sort the mild feeling was.

    Back in the 1970s some friends and I ate some fly agaric we found in the botanic gardens, because we'd heard it got you high. The other three went on to have a fantastic time, high as kites, in a nightclub. Me? I spent hours on my knees in front of the toilet, vomiting and vomiting and vomiting. Do not recommend.

    Amanite tue-mouche (fly killer).

    It can indeed get you high if prepared properly (something about the peeling the skin/dots? Can't remember).

    But even if done correctly the high to sick ratio isn't worth it I hear and it's very easy to not prepare it properly. So I heard...
