eat a "magic mushroom" for a quest

[viznew]

what if we ate certain mushroom and we had "visions" and went on "spirit" quest lol

Amanita Muscaria
Fly Agaric
Europe, Aisa, Africa, Americas
This mushroom could very well be human's oldest hallucinogen

Amanita muscaria is typically a temperate species, but may occur in warmer latitudes, usually in the mountain areas. It is broadly distributed, and can be found throughout Europe, North and Central America, North Africa, Asia and Australia. It is frequently associated with Pine and Birch trees, and less frequently with Firs and Larches. The mushroom’s association with the tree is a symbiotic one. Specifically, it is a mycorrhiza (literally fungus-root) relation where the A. muscaria is enhancing mineral uptake for the tree and in return it is receiving carbohydrates from the root of the tree. The relationship is also an obligate one such that if the host trees are absent, the A. muscaria will also not be present.

PREPARATION: The mushrooms were laid in the sun to dry and ground into as fine a powder as possible with a mortar and pestle. A shaman would measure out between 6-14 grams of dried mushrooms, depending on what vision-quest they were preparing for. Water was VERY carefully heated so that it would stay below the boiling point (190 degrees Fahrenheit.) Some simmering is fine, but the temperature is critical because boiling destroys the active component; musicmol. Stirring will quickly reduce the temperature if it gets too hot, and some simmering won't completely ruin the brew, but it's important to watch closely. Once the correct temperature was reached, the powder was added, and the mixture would cook for 30-45 minutes or more. Then, the mushroom material was strained out, and the resulting liquid drank as it cooled. Often, the straining step was skipped to induce more visions.

I wouldn't dare ingest that in any way since it's closely related to the Death Cap, one of the most poisonous mushrooms in the world.
