Description

DATE: Contemporary

Cool enamel mushroom charm showcasing the infamous fly agaric. These eye-catching fungi are noted for their hallucinogenic properties induced by the neurotoxins ibotenic acid and muscimol, and they are known to have been widely used by many of the indigenous peoples of Sibera by both shamans and lay people alike. The toxins are water soluble and, after parboiling twice with water draining, it's eaten in parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. I wouldn't recommend trying this, however.
