I cant find a single death caused by Amanita Muscaria. Yes, there are
lots from the 'Death's cap', but the diffs are obvious.

And yes, A. Muscaria will make you so sick you'll feel like you are
dying... if you have any alcohol in your gastro instestinal tract. And
even if not, you need to let it dry out in the sun. You dont eat them
fresh; there's a chemical reaction during the drying that eliminates
most of the discomfort.

Wasson, "Persephone's Quest" is right. Mix the dry shrooms with butter,
ghee, lard, etc. The fatty alkaloids in the shroom are neutralized by
the fatty acids in meat fats. But alcohol strips off the fatty coating
in the gastric tract, and that leads to distress.

Otherwise, have a nice trip.
