Amanita Muscaria Var. Formosa - Grade A- Caps - 28 Grams This variety of Amanita muscaria is distinguished by its yellow, rather than red, cap. Its other trademark features are shared with the red version: white warts on the cap, a sturdy white ring, and a distinctive stem base that has several shaggy "zones" above a basal bulb. Though its range extends across North America, it is more commonly found in the east.
In northern Michigan Amanita muscaria var. formosa fruits in great quantities, regularly attaining dinner-plate size, while the red Amanita muscaria is rare or absent. Since it is a fairly gregarious mushroom, one often finds large troops of these mammoth Amanitas lurking under Quaking Aspen at the edges of fields.
This particular batch has been found superior in muscimol content especially to those of Washington or Siberia with the Formosa containing mostly mucsimol/ibotenic acid.
Available in Grade A- Caps packaged in 28 gram units.
