Wild mushrooms are tasty, but. . .
DON'T EAT THESE!!!!
These are Amanita muscaria, and they are highly hallucinogenic and psychoactive, and studies in rats have shown that the inactivation of this area of the brain through the use of muscimol and ibotenate will inhibit fear learning and the startle reflex. Eating the mushrooms seems to turn off the fear emotion.
