Uh, soft is the correct consistency of the brain, no...?
Yes, it should be perfectly smooth
Like a shark.
That's fantastic
An poops should be cubed.
Like a wombat.
Wait, you guys don't have hard brains?
the top of my head is hard and thats my brain they must be confused
I've been told by music students that falalala is a weird reference to sex from a time where singing about sex was banned so people got weird and did it anyway using a method that only weird people like music students would remember.
In any other context this behavior would have you institutionalized
Bro, I've seen a homeless guy with his wiener hanging out, high off fentanyl, talking to the shadow people. It takes a lot to get someone institutionalized.
Cummon, people! Reindeer really do "fly".
There’s a really big problem with this hypothesis though, you can’t just pop some A. muscaria in your mouth and have a powerful “trip”
Unlike P cubensis , they don’t contain the alkaloids psilocin or psilocybin but instead they contain ibotenic acid and muscimol, both of which, unlike the first two alkaloids, are toxic.
There is still a lot of debate on what the actual components of the brew or what it would’ve been or how the mushroom was prepared, not to say that it can’t be prepared in a way to achieve the desired results, only that we have not figured it out yet.
The same that we have not figured out what soma was or what was taken in Eleusis at the temple of Dimitr(I recommend the book “the immortality key” on that particular subject. Great audiobook available too)
There are groups doing, eh... active research on the a. muscaria now. They tend to point out that simply drying the mushroom will convert the bulk of the ibotenic acid and make it more tolerable for consumption. (Finding a mostly dried mushroom in the wild is probably a more realistic scenerio than a reindeer brewing itself a cup of tea. I also wonder if reindeer can handle much higher dosages without getting killed... Dunno.)
But yeah, I tend to agree that any stories like these can be a little over dramatic. Most reports only really say that a muscaria trip is more like alcohol than anything else. While I am curious about this mushroom myself, I am going to wait for newer studies on it. It has been used as a medicine for years in some parts of the world, but still....
Still, it is a fun theory that most of the traditional stories we hear are the result of psychedelics. If this were a science community, I would have been a less sarcastic with my original context.
I have found them, var guessowi, but have never been brave enough to experiment with them. Like datura. My foraging skills are pretty B+ (I do pretty well for the species of plants and fungi I am familiar with) so it’s no specimen shortage, guess I’m just a scared nerd :( I don’t deserve the name I chose. I was arrogant :(
Edit: for real though, they are some of the most fun to find. They are super charismatic and seem to call you over to look at them. It’s no wonder at all why people find them interesting. Always beautiful but I just take a picture and leave them alone. Check on the spot later.

Lulz. I see what you did there.
don’t deserve the name I chose
Sure you do. You are allowed to enjoy a hobby! ;)
But I am right there with you. I am deeply engaged in mycology now and have only just scratched the surface with my learning. It is tempting to join some of the local mushroom foraging clubs, actually. In the mean time, I am just buying mushroom books and learning all the identifying characteristics.
Cubes started this journey of mine, interestingly enough. I quickly became fascinated with how such a simple thing could be so extremely diverse and beneficial.
Cheers!
Hogswatch er.... Christmas... is a little lie that helps us to believe the big ones. Things like Love, Justice, Hope, etc.
all holidays are wierd in this context. as is singing and dancing mostly then. as is anything not done for logical reasons.
Santa is reverse burglar.
If anything you do seems weird then blame the pagans
*thank the pagans.
mmmm soft brains
Asylum
Come to the southern hemisphere. Singing jingle bells and hanging fake snow when it's 110 Freedom degrees and you're under a wildfire watch and act warning.
"nailed to your fire place" - aren't these made of brick?
The mantle or shelf above the fireplace, mounted on the chimney part is often wood.
Correction, cedar tree, or plasmid and metal tree shaped object.
Mind blown
Pine?? You can tell the difference between pine and spruce by looking at it for 0.5 seconds, it shouldn't be that hard.
Sometimes it's nice to spruce up your pine for xmas
