A Man Ate 7 Suspicious Mushrooms And It Ruined His Life

[@chubbyemu]

who needs they shrussy ate? 🍄👁👄👁 The FDA just sent a letter out re: Amanita muscaria as I post this video in December 2024, saying "Amanita muscaria, its extracts, and certain constituents (muscimol, ibotenic acid, and muscarine), when used or intended for use in conventional food, are unapproved food additives. Food containing such ingredients is adulterated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and are subject to enforcement action.” www.fda.gov/food/post-market-determinations-use-substance-not-gras/letter-industry-use-amanita-muscaria-or-its-constituents-food Here’s some personal commentary: This letter comes as a response to recent situations: the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly on 18 July 2024 (the one from this video when I mentioned Gas Station Mushroom Edibles) and from the “microdose edibles” 2024 recall, also mentioned in the video. In both of those situations, more than just Amanita muscaria chemicals (Ibotenic Acid, Muscimol, Muscarine) were found by laboratory, if they were found at all, in the products. So, if these products were supposed to be Amanita muscaria edibles, but weren’t, then that really sucks that Amanita muscaria is taking the fall for this. Letter aside, from a personal standpoint you should be aware of what the actual Amanita muscaria mushroom’s impact on you can be. Everything that goes into your body has a benefit-to-risk assessment. Be wary of composite products. Be reasonable, take care of yourself, and be well!

All you guys are wrong!!! the friend is irresponsible!!! he should have monitored his roommate's actions and not allow his roommate to eat more than one cap that made them feel good. and stay at that one limit...also the roommate was neglectful the minute he saw his roommate contorting in the bed he should have immediately called 911 while he was still contorting. Irresponsible!!! not necessarily a good friend not necessarily a bad friend. only an irresponsible friend. that's what it is. An irresponsible friend. And also the friend was not smart instead of thinking carefully you can tell by the actor and his actions he had some kind of disability mentally. May He Rest In Holy GOD'S Presence. The surviving roommate must be thinking that it was technically his fault. But I don't think you should be blamed I think it was sort of a misjudgment of those dosage. And irresponsible behavior

After boiling the urine they would consume it for the psychoactive effects while avoiding the negative aspects ibutenic acid.

[@kimberlylewis9246]

So I'm a fairly experienced forager. Here are my three big mushroom foraging rules: 1) If you can't be 100% sure what it is, don't eat it. When in doubt, don't risk it. 2) Know what mushrooms grow in the area you're in. A safe mushroom from your area might not grow in a different one. 3) Make sure your field guide is from a reputable publisher. There are a lot of self-published field guides on Amazon that are made with AI and not accurate. If you're new to foraging, look for books at your local national park, or ask the rangers which publishers they like. Seriously though, be careful. There are lots of cases of South East Asian families finding Amanita Phalloides and mistaking it for paddy straw mushrooms, which are common in SE Asia, but don't grow in the US. Even "safer" lookalikes to mushrooms that aren't amanitas (like Aspen Boletes vs. King Boletes) can give you a very bad evening vomiting. Foraging can be a wonderful and empowering hobby, but it does come with risks. Know them, and know your plants!

Learning that thebrain actually damages itself again as the heart starts beating again in insanely interesting O.o

[@edstella]

I mean, it's not intentional. It's kind of how the body is. It follows specific procedures for how to "restart" or fix things, but it isn't always the best thing to do. With modern medicine, humans have found more efficient and less destructive methods to deal with things that are kind of "outside" what the body would do normally. Like when someone has a specific kind of pregnancy that results in a dead fetus and the body calcifies it. The body can either reabsorb the fetus or expel it, but sometimes it's too large to be reabsorbed. So then the body, in an attempt to fix things, deals with it like a foreign body and tries to protect the mother's body from it and calcifies it to keep dead matter "quarantined." It would've been better to expel it, but since the body couldn't, it did that. And while it works, it's not ideal. It's never "intentional" in the way that it actively attempts to harm itself. It just does what it thinks should be done to preserve itself, but sometimes it's not quite right.

[@nightbringar7558]

In addition to everything edstella stated, there are many things our bodies do that seem self destructive in a modern lens, but there never would have been evolutionary pressure to have moderation on some responses. For this example, you'd already be dead and these responses to more mild problems did keep people alive.

[@JambieLionheart]

@@nightbringar7558 Indeed and I get that. Heart attack is 100% fatal when untreated so of course the body doesn't have any failsafes after the fact. However it's also so interesting that in cases where medical intervention does allow the patient to survive the attack, the reboot process causes damage in addition to the loss of blood flow (and therefore stopping supply flow). Makes me wonder if there's a possibility for it occuring in unborn babies as well right when their heart starts beating for the first time. This opens so many medical possibilities. Learning to understand these micro-mechanisms inside the body could save untold numbers of lives. Luck is just a culmination of variables human beings aren't capable of taking into account or perhaps even concieving of. And little bit by little bit, humanity is reducing the number of those incalculable/inconceivable variables. I don't think any one could know that better than a doctor. A feat that even the Romans did not conquer on such a level despite how inventive and brilliant both they and all of our ancestors were.

As a Norwegian we are taught to stay away from the "red fly mushroom" (amanita muscaria/fly agaric)- which is very common in the southern parts of Norway - as it is a known "killer mushroom". We also get to hear about the (apparent myth) that Vikings used to eat these in order to "go berserk".

I think if you want to do psylocibin it's very hard to get into trouble. Much harder than with alcohol. But Amanita? Overdosing is dangerous, eating the wrong type is lethal. Amanita is like playing Russian roulette with someone else loading the gun out of sight. uestion the sanity of anyone

Welp, this was literally Gas station mushrooms, if you read the article they even found pregabalin in some of the edibles, I could imagine there's a bunch of shit in there. Also the dude massively overdosed. There's people taking amanita ritualistically for decades and theyre fine.

[@marksoares1]

Respiratory Arrest: Hyperactivation of GABAergic pathways in the medullary respiratory centers reduces sensitivity to hypercapnia (elevated CO₂) and hypoxia (low O₂). This results in central hypoventilation syndrome, progressing to apnea. Cardiac Arrest Mechanism: Secondary to hypoxia, myocardial tissue undergoes anaerobic metabolism, leading to lactic acidosis, intracellular pH reduction, and impaired sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ cycling, culminating in ventricular fibrillation or asystole. Ischemic Cascade in Brain Cells: Depletion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) disrupts Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pumps, causing cytotoxic edema. Excessive glutamate release during hypoxia triggers NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity, leading to calcium overload in mitochondria. Formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) damages mitochondrial membranes, initiating apoptotic signaling cascades.

[@netherworldfiend]

[@demolitiongrrrl6809]

it may be the first thing anyone casually interested in mushrooms learns, but if you do your research, you can eat them, both by paraboiling them to remove toxins and eat it as a cooked edible, or dried for various uses.

In 40 years, that is the only time I have ever seen those in my area, let alone my own backyard. I trashed them as my neighbor had a dog at the time (who also loved to eat things she found on the ground), and there were many stray cats in our area. I didn’t want an animal massacre 😬

​@@user-bo5qb2rb8qthey digest the ibotenic acid into more muscimol. Muscimol is a GABA agonist, most comparable in effects and mechanism to the drug Ambien. It's the desired compound in Amanita Muscaria, the Ibotenic acid however causes cramps, agitation and in worst case, seizures, and is undesired. So you feed the mushroom to reindeer, because they convert the ibotenic acid into muscimol and piss it out

I have been taking small doses of the water extract for three years, and I was successful in replacing SSRI's after a 20-year dependency. On two occasions, I took way too much, and tripped across the galaxy on the first trip, and descended into the quantum minimum on the second. Both trips were very intense and unpleasant. In small quantities, there is no better antidepressant than Amanita Muscaria. It's very effective in treating alcoholism. You must do your own research, or find a trusted source who will give you dosing advice. In larger doses it can lower blood pressure significantly in some people, others take huge doses and don't feel much. However, large doses are unpredictable and potentially very dangerous. I would recommend low doses only for those people who can no longer tolerate pharmaceuticals.
