The species. Amanita pantherina, the panther cap, is the close relative of the fly agaric and the same genus and section. It grows with broadleaf and conifer hosts across Europe and Asia and it is the brown-capped member of the pair: a tan to deep brown dome with white warts and a distinct ring, where Amanita muscaria carries the familiar red. Both appear across the ethnomycological literature, and the genus as a whole remains a live subject of academic interest.

Compounds.

• Muscimol: the principal compound this material is selected for
• Ibotenic acid: the precursor, which shifts toward muscimol as the material is dried and aged
• Muscarine: trace amounts only in this section of the genus, despite the name

How it differs from muscaria. Same genus, same compound family, different species and a noticeably different specimen. Pantherina is generally described in the literature as carrying a higher proportion of the active isoxazoles by weight than muscaria, which is why it is sold and handled separately rather than as a substitute. Visually the two are easy to tell apart once you have both in front of you.

Storage. Dried caps are brittle. Keep them in a rigid sealed container, dark and dry, with a desiccant packet if your room runs humid. Light dulls the colour over months and moisture is what turns whole caps into fragments.

Common questions

• How is pantherina different from muscaria? Different species in the same genus. Pantherina is brown-capped with white warts and is generally reported to carry a higher proportion of the active isoxazoles by weight.
• Where is it grown? Ukraine.
• Are the caps whole? Yes, these are selected whole caps, though dried mushroom is brittle and some edge breakage in transit is normal.
• Why is it not sold for consumption? The species has no approved food or supplement status in the United States, so we sell it for research, topical and aromatherapy use only.
• Why can you not ship to Louisiana? Louisiana state law restricts this material specifically.
