Amanita muscaria is a type of mushroom that may produce hallucinogenic effects. (Key on the word may. We’re going to come back to that). The psychoactive properties are attributed to muscimol, which is formed when ibotenic acid (another compound present in the mushroom) undergoes decarboxylation.
There is a history of traditional use in religious and shamanic rituals, particularly in Serbia and other parts of Asia. But recently, Western civilization has begun to explore it more, and here at Moonwlkr, we’re always looking to find the “next” product that can benefit our users. So of course, we formulated a gummy of amanita extract with a relatively strong dose of muscimol to assure the best possible results.
Now, Amanita is still in its infancy and we are learning more about it every day. Luckily, we have a huge following here at Moonwlkr and we can gain a lot of information from our users and we want to relay that to you.
What we found was extremely interesting. On a small scale level internally, we found people experienced a hallucinogenic effect, but would that stay the same when offered to tens of thousands of Moonwlkr customers? Honestly, no.
When it comes to amanita mushrooms, each person reacts VERY differently and this was news to us as we saw feedback pour in.
Amanita Mushroom Gummy Reviews
It’s not as cut and dry as THC as where some users have a high tolerance and others have a lower tolerance. Take our 25mg Delta 8 gummies for instance. For some people, one is too much and they cut them in half. For others, people claim they take as many as four!
But for Amanita, the reviews we received went a little something like this…
Of course, we had some reviews that experienced a mild hallucinogenic effect.
There are so chill. What a wonderful experience. There’s nothing out of control, and you don’t have to worry about visuals or anything crazy. Just a relaxed, chill state of mind. Try them when they’re in stock, you won’t regret it!

Others reported something similar to this with a “fun” experience.
Really nice, chill, silly ride…
Gabrielle W.
Super fun and easy. Tasty flavor.

And then we had those that reported it was best used for relaxation, to wind down, and to even sleep!
These helped me fall asleep.

Peach Mango Amanita Mushroom Gummies
Good experience. Not as strong as expected. Makes you very relaxed and mellow in the beginning, then later you get very drowsy. You will sleep great on these. Overall, they need some tweaking, but most will be happy with the effect.

But it certainly wasn’t all positive, as there were reviews that came in like this…
Good Company, Disappointing Product
While I had no issues with the sale or delivery, unfortunately these gummies may not work for someone with a higher thc/delta8 tolerance. I tried 2 amanita gummies to see if perhaps 1 was too little, but still, not much effect to note; perhaps it was comparable to a quick joint. I was hoping for semi-psychedelic effects, but only found some light ease, which I suppose is still nice. I hope to try some more potent products in the future.

And even worse…NO EFFECT AT ALL!
Did not like the Amanita mushroom gummies
I didn’t feel any different at all after eating the gummies

So what gives? Why are reviews so different? Why do some people love it while others have no effect?
In full transparency as always, we’re not exactly sure, but we believe that the basis of it is this…
Not Everyone Will Feel the Effects of Muscimol
Now the reason why we say this is pretty simple. Those that did not experience an effect quickly told us that they just ate more and more gummies and took a stronger dose, yet still nothing.
Of course, the science behind that is uncertain, but the reality is that what may work for one person is not going to work for someone else.
What is Muscimol?
As previously mentioned, muscimol is formed when ibotenic acid undergoes decarboxylation (both found naturally within Amanita mushrooms). This is the compound responsible for psycho-active effects.
Our Amanita gummies here at Moonwlkr contain Amanita-mushroom derived muscimol. Each serving contains 5.38mg of muscimol and each container includes 53.82mg of muscimol. According to Birgit Puschner DVM, PhD, DABVT, in Small Animal Toxicology (Third Edition), 2013 “In humans, a minimum of 6 mg of muscimol and 30 mg of ibotenic acid result in psychoactive effects.” Thus, there is science stating that these smaller doses of muscimol can induce hallucinogenic affects. However, we’re all different and therefore we will all have a unique experience.
So when you begin to read more about Amanita and ask…
Are Amanita Mushroom Gummies Safe?
After trekking through some of our reviews, you may be asking yourself if Amanita mushroom gummies are safe for consumption.
The best piece of advice we can offer is to find a reputable source that is transparent about the ingredients and lab testing. Moonwlkr offers in depth lab tests for all of our products including our Amanita Muscaria gummies. You can find them here!
Every Amanita Mushroom Gummy product may have different concentrations and it’s important to follow their recommendations for dosage. Start with the lowest dosage, you can even take half if it’s your first time. Then, you can gradually increase over time once you’ve discovered your personal tolerance. Check out our Amanita mushroom gummy beginner’s guide.
Your environment can influence your experience as well. Make sure to consume in a safe environment that makes you feel comfortable and happy. Don’t surround yourself with outer stressors; this could be people, places, or things that may cause a negative trigger for you. Get cozy with your favorite movie, put a record on, or find something you enjoy doing such as painting, puzzles, or even a LEGO build. If your mind is in a good place, you are more likely to have a wonderful experience with any product.

Do Amanita Mushroom Gummies offer any Benefits?
Although the reviews have clarified that each person may not experience hallucinogenic effects and instead maybe just an on-set feeling of euphoria, there are other reasons to try Amanita mushroom gummies.
Mushrooms are packed full of digestive enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, beta-glucans, and more that can offer medicinal benefits for all of us here on Earth.
Amanita mushrooms have been proven to offer stress, anxiety, and pain relief. They even offer mood-enhancing properties that can combat depression and mental health struggles. Amanita Muscaria has also been found to provide anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits.
There have been studies also attributing the consumption of Amanita mushrooms to the aid of insomnia specifically in men and boosting of skin health in women. These studies showing differences in men and women further support the findings of our very own customers’ Amanita gummy reviews displaying extremely different experiences with our Amanita mushroom gummies.
Overall, even if you try our gummies with the desire to trip, and are not rewarded that, you may be rewarded with a ton of other benefits that you didn’t even know about!
How Will Amanita Gummies Make Me Feel?
Well, we can’t give you a straightforward answer. For some, you’ll experience the desired effects when purchasing a “legal psychedelic”.
For others, you may notice some type of calm, relaxing sensation. And then some people may not feel anything at all! And we want to be honest with you about that.
At the end of the day, based on our feedback from our users, we’d say that the most likely outcome is that Amanita is best used for relaxation and taking your mind off things.
But is it going to be a hard hitting psychedelic experience? Most likely not. It’s not to say it’s impossible, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the most common outcome.
This isn’t to say you should eat an entire bag, though!
