Amanita muscaria is not federally scheduled and is legal to sell in most states.
Amanita muscaria — the red cap with white spots, also called fly agaric — is the most recognizable mushroom on earth and the one people usually picture when they hear "magic mushroom." It is not a psilocybin mushroom. Its active compounds are muscimol and ibotenic acid, and neither is a federally scheduled substance, which is why it is sold openly in shops across most of the country.
Effects are different from psilocybin: users typically describe sedation, dream-like states, muscle twitching, and sometimes nausea rather than visual psychedelia. Ibotenic acid is the main source of nausea, and careful producers decarboxylate it into muscimol to reduce that. Raw, untreated caps are harder on the body.
Legality is state-by-state and it is changing. Louisiana has banned Amanita muscaria, and several other states have considered restrictions or age limits. Everywhere else it is generally legal to buy and possess, and reputable sellers publish lab results for muscimol and ibotenic acid content.

Questions people ask
Is Amanita muscaria legal in the U.S.?
Yes in most states. Its active compounds, muscimol and ibotenic acid, are not federally scheduled. Louisiana has banned it, and some states have considered age or sales restrictions, so check your state page.
Is Amanita muscaria the same as magic mushrooms?
No. Magic mushrooms contain psilocybin. Amanita muscaria contains muscimol and ibotenic acid and produces a different, more sedating effect profile.
Is Amanita muscaria poisonous?
It is toxic if prepared or dosed incorrectly, and raw caps can cause significant nausea and, at high doses, delirium. Deaths are rare but adverse reactions are not. Start extremely low and never combine with alcohol.
What Amanita products are sold in stores?
Gummies, chocolate bars, capsules, tinctures, and dried whole or broken caps. Gummies are the most common because dosing is easier to standardize.
