If anyone is wondering where the idea that the Mushroom was related to Mithra came from, this was not something I made up after looking at a few photos, and it is not something I found on some conspiracy website that people are probably thinking I found it from. This ideas that I have been sharing (Merry Mithras) came from reading 2 books (Main;y 2, but other contributed). First is "Mushrooms, Myth and Mithra: The Drug Cult that Civilized Europe" by Carl A. P, Ruck, who is fairly well known in this field (Mythology and Entheogenic plants rituals). Many people don't realize this, but when Archaeologists dig they find things like Ancient board games, and weird shaped weights that are meant to be used on scales, and before anyone knows how the games or weights work, someone has to come in and figure out what they are. Because sometimes they just look like nothing. Carl A. P. Ruck does similar work, but he works to find out what plants they are talking about in ancient myths.
In his book he lays out this connection:
1. Mithra was "Born from a stone" or "Born from a Pine cone", and when the Amanita is in its premature stage it looks like a little white rock or Pine cone. This is sometimes called the "Cosmic Egg" in myth.

2. Mithra has a red cape and a red Phrygian cap. The Phrgian cap itself has been traditionally made from a Fungus, and the Amanita has a very bright red cap. This hat is now most well known as a "Santa Hat".
3. The Amanita Muscaria Mushroom grows under the Pine tree, and the Mithra worshipers used to decorate pine trees in the Woods for Mithras. So the same way people bring a tree in their house and decorate it today, they used to decorate the tree outside and wait for stuff to appear under it magically. Or, grow under it.
Then he goes on to show the different connections throughout the various cultures, and he explains the rituals with the bulls, etc.
The Second Book is called "The Mysteries of Mithras: The Pagan Belief That Shaped the Christian World". But that is kind of a whole other topic, even though it is the same topic. So i will post that later.
I have been sharing a lot of stuff about Red and White Mushrooms for the religious holiday coming up (they are known as Amanita Muscaria or Fly Agaric Musrooms), and I posted a meme about how the Chukchee people wait for Reindeer to eat Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, then they collect their urine and drink it. But now I am going to share more science behind these mushrooms, as well as other "Magic Mushrooms" people use around the world.
Amanita Muscaria mushrooms are legal in most places, and they are well known for being the "Alice in Wonderland" mushrooms, and "Smurf/Gnome Houses" or Fairy/Toad Chair/Stools. They can be found in various myths around the world, and have been used to turn people in to Warriors and Werewolves (one Native American culture has stories of how they used to be able to turn in to wolves, and they have saved tapestries that their ancestors made with Amanitas on them.
Amanita Muscaria grows pretty much all over the world. You can find them in Oregon, or Siberia, and I am pretty sure England. Those are specific places, but there are tons of places you can find them. The Molecule inside the Mushrooms that has effects is known as "Ibotenic Acid". Ibotenic acid does not actually have any effects unless it is broken down. This is why the Chukchee people drink the Urine of the Reindeer, because then it has already been fully broken down and has its full effects. Amanita has been reported to be effective even after 6 passes through the human body. There is a book written about a theory that Jesus may have had a supply of mushrooms and was sharing his Urine, but it is just a theory.
To break down the Amanita structure you would "Decarboxylize" it. I think this can be done by cooking it in to bread or something, but the way I have read they do it in a lab is by taking Ibotenic acid and Refluxing it. This means they boil it, but have coils of cold water above the boil. The steam gets directed towards these coils, and the steam becomes liquid and drips back down. This does something like the stomach and breaks it down.
The Amanita Muscaria is not said to have many Visual effect, but it can distort the size of things. Meaning, it can make you feel taller than you are (Mario), or make things feel smaller in your hands or bigger in your hands than usual, etc.
Another legal Mushroom that has been used by some cultures are the "Puffball" mushrooms. They do not cause visuals, only Auditory hallucinations, meaning you will hear things. The specific kinds of Puffballs that have been used Culturally are: Lycoperdon, Bovista and Calvatia
Then there are "Magic Mushrooms" or "Shrooms", these are Psilocybin mushrooms, they are illegal to grow unless you are in New Mexico (where it is legal to grow them for personal use) and I think in Florida you are allowed to possess them as long as they are not dry, because they grow so commonly in the cow fields and sometimes people don't even realize they picked those kind.
Panaeolus Mushrooms are very similar to Psilocybin mushrooms, but they are legal to grow as long as you are just growing them for fun and not as a manufacturing type thing. And they are legal to possess as long as no one can prove you have any intent to do anything with them (meaning, don't have them dried out or bagged up like a drug dealer, unless you are a drug dealer and this is not written for you).
Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms have a very high dose, like 10+ Grams. You can probably use less if you cook them. And don't take more than like 20 Grams, because taking too much can become poisonous, but you have to take a LOT.
"Magic Mushrooms" or Panaelus mushrooms have doses between 2 grams and 5 grams, depending what you want from it.
This is not a recreational guide, this is only being posted because it is Mithras season, and I want people to be safe while practicing the religious holiday.

) , but I don't advise everyone try it either.
