Just had a lovely walk and found these little buggers
Nice
SWIM (the stepdad of a friend of mine) dropped out on those regularly. He offered me/us to join, for a 6-8 hour deep experience of timelessness.
He also said, that they have to be dried thoroughly to transform the poisonous ingredients into their psychoactive metabolites, besides that there are a couple of active substances in them already. He said something about the red skin, which i unfortunately can't remember. Either it has to be left out or eaten separately, but the shrooms have to dry on a net (from above and below) as a whole.
I can't imagine that there is no youtube video on the correct preparation for safe digestion. As safe as a full fledged LSD-ish turn can be.
So don't forget the set and settings stuff before.
If in doubt, smaller doses might be safe enough as a start. The dude i referred to above was a grown out original hippie in his 50s back then (late 90s) and took these bastards as a whole, which he didn't reccommend to starters.
Stay safe.
Definetly not the safest or the best way to trip, and i'm pretty sure that the above posted quantity would suffice for many lethal doses.
If you really, really want to trip and don't have access to any better psychedelic you can try to extract the much safer and better LSA from many plant sources (google it), but really dude....stay safe,
this things can kill you. And some other things (like datura) can get you really mad. Plants are dangerous, they are not "safe" because natural, only less pure.
Agreed. They "appear" to be Fly Agaric / Amanita Muscaria. I have these growing a few metres from where I live, including lots of other mushrooms I've been photographing and trying to identify. I'd want an experienced forager with me even if I was looking for edible field mushrooms. Be VERY careful:

1. EROWID vaults, late 90's standard document resource of psychoactive substances.

You can digest 4-5 spoons of seed and vomit your ass off 1-2 hours later, followed by a LSD-like turn, but milder, more visual, less spaced out. I listened to the buzzing sound of a fridge on this for hours, which was making techno music (i think i referenced this experience some days ago here, too).
The safe way is to grind them, soak them in petrol ether, filter it out and let the ether vapor out completely off the seed mud. When it's dry soak it in alcohol, filter it off again a few hours later and enjoy a psychoactive LSA booze, which is nice to your stomach and also much more easy to dose. Effects come in a few minutes after drinking, which makes accidental overdosing pretty impossible.
You see, i had a quite extensive past as a "psychonaut"
