    Jan 22 2026

    We missed you! Have you ever wondered what's actually in those brightly colored "shroom" chocolate bars behind the glass at your local head shop? For several years many of them were marketed as containing Amanita Muscaria, however user reports and independent lab testing tell a decidedly different story. How DID mushroom marketing hucksters confuse consumers, media, and government agencies alike? Press play and find out!

  • Amanita Muscaria Part 3: Baba Masha and the Magical Microdose
    Oct 8 2025

    Could Amanita Muscaria be the secret to finally clearing up your psoriasis? Making your poops more regular? Increasing your agility in the ring? How about in the bedroom ;) The answer may shock you!


    We discuss whether this fabled "poison" could have a place in the modern medicine cabinet. And after exploring several studies on the effects of muscimol and ibotenic acid, we examine the results of the largest informal survey of Amanita Muscaria microdosing ever conducted, by none other than the Queen of Amanita Content herself, Russian doctor and psychonaut Baba Masha M.D. And of course, we close things out with a cautionary tale of Amanita Macrodose gone awry!

  • Amanita Muscaria Part 2: Soma and The Mushroom Messiah
    Sep 3 2025

    Was the REAL Jesus not a man, but a mushroom shrouded in metaphor to survive Roman persecution? Did amanita muscaria inspire pre-Hindu Vedic priests to craft literally thousands of hymns? When the stakes are this high, can Jamie “pull that up?”


    Today we're continuing on our trip down Amanita Lane talking about two dudes and their much disputed mushroom theories! We start off with Robert Gordon Wasson and his Soma Hypothesis, in which he argues amanita muscaria was the true identity of the plant god Soma from the Ninth Mandala of the Rig Veda. Then we go deeper down the rabbit hole with John Marco Allegro, who claims that the beloved Jesus Christ was in fact a cover up for the horny mushroom rituals too wild to be written down. Finally, we cap things off with a classic trip report that really brings everything together in one glorious golden shower.
