Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What are Functional Mushrooms?
Think of functional mushrooms as Mother Nature’s little overachievers. They’re not just here to make your pizza taste better—they’re packed with superpowers to boost your brain, soothe your stress, and keep your immune system as strong as a superhero. From Lion's Mane and Reishi to Amanita Muscaria, these fungi are the wise old sages of the forest, here to help you thrive.
What is Amanita Muscaria?
Amanita Muscaria, often recognized as the iconic red-and-white mushroom, is one of the most famous fungi in the world, thanks to its vibrant appearance and rich history. This mushroom has been used in traditional rituals and healing practices for centuries, particularly in Siberia, where it was consumed for spiritual and medicinal purposes. Interestingly, reindeer are known to seek out and eat Amanita Muscaria, which some believe inspired the folklore of Santa’s flying reindeer. Even the classic imagery of Santa Claus—his red suit with white trim—may have connections to this mushroom. Amanita Muscaria’s influence extends to pop culture as well, serving as the inspiration for the power-up mushrooms in the Super Mario video games, where it grants players special abilities, adding to its legendary status. Despite its fascinating history, Amanita Muscaria contains psychoactive compounds and should be approached with care and proper knowledge.
Why Amanita?
Well...Amanita Muscaria is like that mysterious friend who always has the best stories and deepest insights. It’s not just a mushroom—it’s a journey. Whether you’re seeking releif from anxiety, relaxation, creative sparks, or a ticket to the dream world, Amanita’s got your back. Plus, it’s got some serious historical street cred in the spiritual community.
Is Amanita Muscaria poisonous?
It is NOT, if you prepare & consume this mushroom properly! There is a saying: “Everything is poison, and everything is medicine; dose is everything!" Amanita Muscaria walks that fine line—yes, it can be toxic if you eat it raw straight off the forest floor. But when treated with care, dried, and prepared just right, it becomes a safe, but potent ally for your mind and spirit. So, RESPECT the mushroom (follow the instructions!!!), and it will respect you in return.
Is Amanita Muscaria psychedelic?
No, this mushroom is NOT a psychedelic. While it has mind-altering properties, its effects are very different. Amanita Muscaria works through compounds like muscimol, which can induce a dreamy, meditative state, relaxation, and sometimes visual or sensory changes, but it typically does not produce the intense, hallucinogenic experiences associated with classic psychedelics. Its effects are more sedative and introspective, often used for relaxation or spiritual purposes rather than for the "trip" associated with psychedelics.
t’s important to note that exceeding the recommended dose in an attempt to get high is not only ineffective but also unsafe. Amanita Muscaria works through compounds like muscimol, and trying to increase the dose will NOT lead to a psychedelic experience like other substances. Always follow the recommended dosage for safe and beneficial use.
Is Amanita Muscaria legal?
Yes, Amanita Muscaria is legal in most parts of the world, including the United States. Unlike other more commonly known psychedelic substances, Amanita Muscaria is not classified as a controlled substance in the U.S., making it legal to possess, sell, and use. However, there is one exception: Amanita Muscaria is not legal in the state of Louisiana. If you’re in Louisiana, it’s important to be aware that the sale, possession, and use of Amanita Muscaria is prohibited.

How does it work?
Our supplements are designed to interact with your brain’s GABA receptors, which are responsible for promoting relaxation and reducing stress. The key compounds, such as muscimol and ibotenic acid, play a crucial role in modulating neural activity, helping you achieve a state of calm and mental clarity. These compounds have been shown in studies to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of well-being through their influence on neurotransmitter systems.
However, the real power of our supplements comes when used alongside intentional practices like meditation and guided experiences. By following our proposed protocol: setting a clear intention, and using our signature meditation while taking the supplement, you create an optimal state for the body and mind to align.
This mindful approach allows the supplements to work more effectively, helping to harmonize and restore balance within your system. It's not just about taking a capsule—it's about creating an environment where your body can truly benefit from its calming and balancing properties.
For best results, pair your supplement intake with a quiet space, relaxed breathing, and focus on your personal goals, allowing the supplement to fully support your emotional and mental well-being.
So, take a capsule, get comfortable, close your eyes, put on our Signature Mediaition & let the Amanita work its magic.
Are Original Mushroom Suplements Safe?
Yes, when taken as directed, the amount of Amanita Muscaria in each capsule is considered safe based on various studies. Our supplements are also third-party tested for quality and purity.
However, we advise against using this product if you are pregnant or under the age of 21. As with any supplement, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
Are there any side effects? Will I get sick?
Different people have different experiences when using Amanita Muscaria. Most of the time, individuals notice gradual benefits with little to no side effects.
However, in some cases, people may experience mild drowsiness, nausea, or digestive discomfort. But this is actually a good sign—it means that the mushroom is starting to work with your body, like a good housekeeper coming in to clean and organize what needs attention, helping to harmonize and restore balance in you. Any mild side effects, like drowsiness, diarrhea or other bodily discomfort, usually go away after a few days as your body adjusts.

Why Ukrainian Amanita Muscaria?
Our Amanita Muscaria mushrooms are sourced from the mystical Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, and this location isn't just a pretty backdrop—it plays a significant role in the mushroom's unique chemistry and spiritual potency. The Carpathian region is known for its rich, unspoiled soil, diverse flora, and unique microclimate, all of which contribute to the superior quality of the mushrooms that grow there.
Scientifically speaking, mushrooms from this region have been found to contain higher concentrations of muscimol and ibotenic acid, the active compounds responsible for Amanita Muscaria’s psychoactive effects. This enhanced potency is believed to be a result of the unique mineral content in the soil, the purity of the environment, and the traditional foraging methods passed down through generations of local families.
But it's not just about chemistry. The Carpathian Mountains have long been regarded as a spiritually significant area, steeped in folklore and mysticism. The energy of the land is said to imbue the mushrooms with a deeper spiritual resonance, making them not just a tool for altered states of consciousness, but a gateway to profound spiritual experiences. The families who forage these mushrooms do so with a deep respect for the land and the mushroom’s spiritual significance, ensuring that each harvest carries the wisdom and energy of generations.
When you choose our Ukrainian Amanita Muscaria, you’re not just getting a mushroom—you’re connecting with a centuries-old tradition, a rich spiritual heritage, and the pure, potent essence of the Carpathian Mountains.
