Description
I was inspired by my personal experience with this quintessential red mushroom with white spots to make this work of art. Medium used is Prismacolor markers on watercolor paper.
Amanita Muscaria, also known as fly agaric is the quintessential bright red mushroom with white warts depicted in fairy tales and folklore. It is mildly to moderately psychoactive. The two main compounds responsible for for the psychoactive effects are ibotenic acid and muscimol. Muscimol is GABAergic. This means that it imitates the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA and interacts with the brain’s GABA receptors. Ibotenic acid favors the neurotransmitter glutamate and connects with the brain’s glutamate receptors. They grow in forests all over the world having a relationship with birch and pine.
