Amanita muscaria is a
poisonous mushroom that is consumed in many cultures for a variety of health
benefits. Its use in folk medicine dates back to at least 6000 B.C.E. It has

a cosmopolitan mushroom that is native to the warm latitudes of western Siberia
and has expanded to the Mediterranean and Central America.
Amanita muscaria, or
"fly agaric," is a fungus found in the soil around the base of trees.
When it emerges, it forms an egg-like cap and breaks away its protective
tissue, called the "universal veil". Once it has emerged, the cap is
covered with warts. The warts can wash off before the cap enlarges fully.
Amanita muscaria was
popular with ancient Turkic and Tungusic peoples in central and western
Siberia. Shamans ate the mushrooms, while laypeople consumed their urine to
experience a mystical state. The mushroom has become a cosmopolitan species,
and has spread to a variety of urban environments.
