MUST READ*** This is why PSYCF Will be the Leader of Shrooms Muscimol is one of the main compounds of interest within the Amanita due to its profound effects on the nervous system. Muscimol is considered a GABA agonist, which means that this compound can replace GABA as a neurotransmitter, in return sending its own electrochemical signals to the body. It is these signals that are of the utmost importance to this plants therapeutic value.
A GABA agonist is considered to be a sedative. These compounds have calming effects on the nervous system and are often used in anti-panic, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic, anticonvulsant, and insomnia treatments or medications. Individuals whos GABA receptors are blocked or damaged due to heavy metals in the hippocampus -most commonly Aluminum- have a higher chance of expressing hyperactive disorders, developing schizophrenic tendencies, or displaying early signs for Dementia or Alzheimers.
Becuase Amanitas are rich in ?organic sulfur? and silica; they can help detox the brain of heavy metals and restore neurotransmitter regulation and expression. This action alone can lead to a calm and collected disposition, laced with deep levels of clarity and harmonized chemical function within the endocrine system.
On top of harmonizing the hormones of the body, Muscimol is also shown to stimulate synchronization of brain waves, rendering deeper and more productive thoughts, sounder sleep states filled with more insightful and lucid dreams, and increased abilities in vision.
Muscimol is known to stimulate the Hippocampus, and one of the features of this center is that it produces large quantities of Theta waves. Exaggerated levels of Theta waves are associated with REM cycle sleep and deep meditation. The Hippocampus is also involved in spacial recognition and overall navigation. This correspondence traverses both the physical and spiritual planes of navigation and helps the individual to first dissociate with the storyline their mind has been generating regarding the perceived self, and then take a step up to the 'crows nest' of consciousness where a wider landscape of reality can be more easily obtained. The qualities of emotionally removed observations are often common of GABA agonists and are what give these compounds the title of 'dissociatives.'

The Hippocampus also contains a high amount of glucocorticoid receptors, which make it extremely sensitive to stress. Muscimol, acting to sedate the production of stress hormones and balance endocrine function also means that amanita can be considered as a powerful remedy against intense depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD). Extracts of this mushroom are extremely beneficial for those who deal with anger, rage, depression, anxiety, or insomnia.
Amanita and your Eyes
Since Muscimol -the active ingredient in the Fly Agaric mushroom- relaxes the nervous system, it also has effects on the optic nerve. Your eyes are directly linked to your nervous system and are therefore immediately affected by muscimol's presence. This often is experienced as a relaxation and dilation of the pupil. Opening the pupil allows more light to enter the eye and stimulate the optic nerve. More sensory input from the eyes means sharper vision and pronounced colors. Using an Amanita extract consistently as a tonic may be helpful in natural forms of vision correction.

Entheogenic Qualities
The Fly Agaric is most often known for its psychoactive qualities. The same compound -Muscimol- which is responsible for the medicinal qualities of the mushroom can also be responsible for psychoactive trips when large quantities are consumed. The extract featured here is not potent enough to cause a psychoactive trip and is not designed for that purpose. But, it is still of value to know the potentials held within this fungus.
It takes about 5g of dried Amanita cap to trigger a worthwhile entheogenic experience. Remember that the word 'entheogen' means 'Divine Within,' and that is essentially what is happening or being experienced when you ingest substances like this. You are awakening to the divine nature of true-self that is buried within the form we perceive as self.
