⚠️ Attention! Before using any folk medicine recipes, consult your doctor.
The information provided here is based on independent studies of the effects of Amanita muscaria microdosing on human health, real user experiences, and author books (links below).
What is Amanita microdosing?
Microdosing is the practice of taking small, sub-perceptual doses of psychoactive substances (in this case, red fly agaric). A microdose of Amanita muscaria is usually considered to be 0.3–2 grams for the red type and 0.2–0.5 grams for the panther type.
This is a healing method in folk medicine that works on a cellular level, balances dopamine receptor sensitivity, improves the nervous system, normalizes hormonal levels, and increases life energy. The worst you can expect from microdosing is no noticeable change, which actually indicates a well-functioning nervous system.
It is important to evaluate the effects over time, as microdosing has a cumulative effect. For the best therapeutic outcome, a course of 2 months is recommended.
The course of red Amanita microdosing offers a wide range of benefits, including:
-
Sleep normalization and the return of dreams.
-
Mental clarity, emotional balance, good mood, and a strong spirit.
-
Reduced or eliminated cravings for alcohol and tobacco.
-
Relief from depression, improved mood and energy.
-
Fatigue reduction.
-
Relief from muscle and joint pain.
-
Increased libido in both men and women.
-
Hormonal balance.
-
Improved central nervous system function.
-
Enhanced endurance.
-
Improved consciousness and decisiveness.
-
Stomach normalization and detoxification.
-
Relief from chronic diseases.
-
Gentle withdrawal from psychotropic medications, antidepressants, and tranquilizers, replacing them naturally.
-
And much more…
In most cases, people notice positive effects by the second week of microdosing.
Microdosing: intake recommendations
1. How much to take?
For maximum physical and mental health benefits, take 1 gram of dried Amanita muscaria per day.
You can take 1 g at once in the morning (before food) or split it into 0.5 g in the morning and 0.5 g in the evening before sleep.
In times of high stress, you may temporarily increase the dose to 2 grams per day and then reduce it.
2. What if this dosage doesn’t suit me?
You need to determine your own optimal dose.
Effects are cumulative and usually appear by the second week. Avoid hasty conclusions.
At the correct dose, there should be no alterations in consciousness or behavior!
Experiencing euphoria, uncontrollable laughter, hallucinations, dizziness, extreme weakness, apathy, or aggression are signs of overdose. In this case, immediately reduce your dose!
3. Whole caps or powder?
There is no difference.
Dried caps have a pleasant taste. You can grind them into powder, but don’t prepare too much in advance, as powder loses potency faster.
4. How long to take?
A typical course lasts 2 months, followed by a break to compare your state before and after, and decide whether to continue.
5. Morning or evening?
Morning intake provides energy, a mood boost, ease in communication, reduced irritability, and emotional balance throughout the day.
Evening intake promotes faster falling asleep, deep sleep, and vivid, realistic, or fantastic dreams.
Most people feel refreshed and recharged in the morning.
6. Dry mushroom or tincture?
Amanita tincture is also effective.
There is no consensus on which is better. You may try tincture first and then dry microdosing later.
It is not recommended to use both methods at the same time.
7. Which Amanita to use?
The most common is red fly agaric (Amanita muscaria).
Other types include royal and panther Amanitas. Panther Amanita is highly toxic and requires extreme caution. Its microdosing doses are much smaller.
What happens if you exceed a microdose?
Amanita trip
A deep immersion experience (“trip”) requires about 8–10 grams of dried Amanita at once.
Taking more than a microdose is highly discouraged as it can be dangerous!
If you decide to try it:
-
Do it in a calm, natural environment (forest, mountains, river, lake, etc.).
-
Never trip alone. Be with someone you trust deeply.
-
Avoid doing it with people who annoy you or cause negative emotions.
-
Better to take less than too much. For beginners, start with ~5 grams and wait an hour to assess.
-
Eat light or fast for a few days before; avoid alcohol. Your stomach and body should be clean.
-
Only do it in a good mood. If you feel strong irritation, fear, aggression, stress — postpone it.
If approached irresponsibly, it can harm you deeply. If done right, it can bring valuable insights and reprogram your life.
Mushroom preparation process
As mushroom season starts, it’s important to prepare them properly.
If you pick, dry, and immediately consume them — it will be microdosing with poison!
Taking more than 3 grams of freshly dried mushrooms can cause poisoning and an unpleasant trip.
How to prepare Amanita properly:
1️⃣ Clean the caps and start drying immediately.
2️⃣ Dry at 40–45°C (max 50°C) with good ventilation until crispy.
3️⃣ Store at room temperature in vacuum packs or containers in a cool, dark place for at least 2 months to allow ibotenic acid to convert to muscimol.
4️⃣ To speed up this transformation, open the vacuum packs for 2–3 hours weekly, let them absorb oxygen, and re-seal. Repeat weekly for 2 months.
5️⃣ After two months, toxins are gone, and only therapeutic compounds remain. Now your microdosing Amanita is ready.
Amanita requires respect. For best therapeutic results, prepare it properly and follow dosage.
Amanita, brain & nervous system
Ibotenic acid and muscimol — the main alkaloids of Amanita muscaria — are analogs of key neurotransmitters.
Ibotenic acid is similar to glutamic acid, an excitatory neurotransmitter.
Muscimol is similar to GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter.
GABA and glutamate balance excitation and inhibition. Without inhibition, attention would not exist, and mental overload would occur rapidly.
Food, alcohol, tobacco, psychoactive substances, and pharmaceuticals disrupt this balance, leading to anxiety, impulsivity, insomnia, attention deficit, depression, and other mental issues.
To restore this balance, we need substances similar to GABA — such as muscimol.
Muscimol acts as a psychocorrector, restoring the regulation of excitation and inhibition, harmonizing brain and nervous system work, displacing harmful mental programs, and activating consciousness evolution.
Subtle effects
Amanita enhances spirit manifestation, opening access to the higher self.
It allows you to correct past patterns and glimpse into the future.
The mushroom lives beyond time and space, perceiving reality wider than humans.
Consistent use trains the pineal gland to produce its own DMT (“spirit molecule”), making microdosing a true ally:
🧘♂️ In spiritual practices, self-development, yoga, and meditation;
👹 Helps overcome fears and phobias;
🎨 Unlocks creative potential;
🥰 Enhances empathy and emotional harmony;
👁 Awakens the true nature of the soul.
We are happy to guide you into the world of mushrooms and believe they can help humanity preserve itself.
