Key Takeaways
There is no single amount of Amanita muscaria that is safe for everyone, because products, extracts and people all differ. The careful approach is to follow the label on a lab-tested product, begin with the smallest serving and give it plenty of time.
We will not give you a number, because no figure is safe for every person or every product. Follow the label on a lab-tested product, start with the smallest serving it describes and speak to a doctor if you have any doubt.
Because the mushroom itself varies, extracts vary, and people respond very differently.
Wild fly agaric is known for being inconsistent from one mushroom to the next. Extracts are made in different ways and at different strengths. On top of that, body size, sensitivity and what else a person has taken all change the picture.
