Amanita Muscaria and similar species and variants can be very sketchy. Seems to be very much in that datura/benedryl/dramamine-esque world. Paul Stamets has some very interesting thoughts and reports on it, i haven't been willing or interested myself, much like with datura.
Hamilton Morris has some thoughts on that muscimol/ibotinic acid family of compounds, however, that are very interesting. I don't remember the name of the compound, but there is a substance a couple atoms off from muscimol and ibotinic acid, same family, that will essentially take you to the center of the ether for about 14 hours, and it is apparently one of the most eye opening psychedelic compounds he has ever come across. He is a chemist though, and in whatever i was watching, he may have actually chosen to actually omit the name of the compound in loo of the educated being able to easily figure it out. He mentioned the conversion/synthesis being incredibly simple, and he could have definitely seen it taking place in the metabolic processes of the liver of a reindeer ;) Was probably a podcast or something idr. I actually forgot about this until i was typing that bit about Paul Stamets above.
