Amanita Warning

Amanita Warning

Experts are calling for FDA regulation of Amanita muscaria products, especially those found in gummy format. This type of mushroom does not contain psilocybin, but instead contains toxic hallucinogens, leading to seizures and even death. While the hallucinogens muscimol and ibotenic acid aren’t scheduled drugs, these mushrooms are not listed for human consumption by the FDA.
