@jake.pnw: You Will Not Believe This‼️🍄😱 This bright red organism with white spots looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale but it’s very real and incredibly fascinating. Known as Amanita muscaria, it contains powerful compounds called muscimol and ibotenic acid which can cause hallucinations, dizziness, and vivid dreamlike experiences. Despite its beauty, it’s highly toxic and has been used in ancient rituals for thousands of years across Siberia and Northern Europe. Some scientists even believe it may be the origin of the Santa Claus flying reindeer myth because reindeer have been seen eating them and acting strangely afterward. ⚠️ I do not encourage, condone, or recommend the use of this species.
