These were harvested on Vashon Island, near Seattle Washington in Dec 2025 and Jan 2026. They were carefully dried at 85-95 F and promptly vacuum packed and stored at 0F in darkness. These are very potent mushrooms. They are smaller and more fragile than muscaria. They are carefully cleaned of most forest debris.. However, due to their fragile nature, there may be some grains of sand, but this is very minimal with most caps being debris free. To speed drying, they are cut in half or quarters. To harvest these elusive mushrooms, I've crawled on very steep hills while gripping madrona branches to keep from sliding down the slope while checking every potential amanita host tree. sometimes lifting up their lower branches like a dress to see what is hidden underneath. Cold rain and wind, rubber boots and rain proof gear, a very bright LED flash-light when out at night. Under bright LED light, amanita's stand out because they are fluorescent. Almost like they were washed in Tide Laundry soap which has fluorescent chemistry added to make your whites very bright in the sunshine.  All these adventures to bring you a fine product from the earth mother. These mushrooms are worth every penny spent.
 
These are potent mixed whole mushroom caps and pieces.
 
Refer to the COA image:
They are vacuum packed and stored frozen at -20 C to preserve potency and also to create conditions that support continued more efficient decarboxylation of ibotenic acid (IBO) to muscimol compared to storing the mushrooms at room temperature. Decarboxylation of IBO to muscimol continues after the Amanita mushroom is dried according to the results of a somasupplies stability study. The rate of IBO degradation is slower at -20 compared to +20C. The colder temperature also slows the rate of muscimol degrading. So, Amanita stored for 10 months at -20C in vacuum packed packages may actually increase in potency if muscimol created from decarboxylation of ibotenic acid is 5-10X more potent than IBO. Over the 10 month duration, Ibotenic acid decreased by 50%. Muscimol increased in concentration 14X in a stability study with A muscaria powder. If the mushrooms are stored at room temperature, more IBO decarboxylates, but less muscimol accumulates. The same is true for drying amanita. Drying at 90F is better than 125F and far better than 170F.
 
Store your dried amanita in a sealed bag in the freezer to slow loss of potency. It really makes a difference! Remove as much air as possible.
