    As a well studied amateur mycologist of 45+ years, i feel the need to comment that there has never once been a documented death from the consumption and use of A. muscaria, or any of the other related species. They are frankly a good edible species after a short boil and discard the water. They are regularly harvested and consumed and preserved in eastern Europe and Russia. Please do actual research on such matters and leave the propagation of mistruths and fear at the door step of the realm of facts. You are exponentially more likely to be poisoned by a plant than any fungi.
