The amanita muscaria mushroom, also known as fly agaric, has been referred to as a sacred hallucinogenic mushroom. It also may be very dangerously toxic.
Use of amanita muscaria has also been attributed to the Lappish shamans of northern Finland, where the mushrooms grow in profusion and have sacred uses.
Reports about the flavor of the amanita muscaria mushroom vary widely. Opinions range from tasting fine to tasting terrible. Of course, there are several different colors of the mushroom. Mycologists (mushroom experts) categories them into six variations named from the color of the cap: white, red, red-orange, red-brown, yellow-orange and melon.

Don’t take this guys word for it - The White Amanitas are not edible; the white Amanitas are called A. Virosa, the white “Destroying Angel”
Nobody here ever said the white ones are edible, only that there are white ones. For non-experts, the safest way to get Amanita muscaria mushrooms is to purchase them from a reputable source.
