Amanita muscaria mushrooms have significant pharmacological properties. Amanita muscaria has psychotropic effects.
These include a feeling of weightlessness, visual and auditory hypersensitivity, space distortion, unawareness of time, and coloured hallucinations.
The psychotropic effects are produced by compounds that naturally occur in the mushroom called Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid, and to a lesser extend Muscarine. “Classical psychedelics” like psilocybin can also lead to similar effects, but the main difference is that, unlike classical psychedelics, Muscimol does not engage with serotonin 5-HT2A receptors.
