     Amanita is not commonly used as a recreational drug. Through research and experiential knowledge, it has been determined that a micro-dose of 1/3 to 1/2 gram of dried cap is appropriate. Blended dried caps offer more consistency in dosing as potency levels can vary from cap to cap. The relationship between Amanita and the verity of tree root systems it was harvested from, known as Mycorrhizal Fungi, can also impact its potency, depending on factors such as height and specific ecosystem. Prior to dosing, I remove any unwanted gills from the flesh of a standard cap, although some individuals prefer to dose with the gills intact, the stipe is not consumed when dosing a standard cap. It is generally not recommended to dose higher than the standard amount (tea) for various reasons unless one is experienced.
