What are Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid

Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid are the main psychoactive compounds present in many mushrooms of the Amanita genus. Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid are dissociatives and selective agonists for the GABAA receptor set, unlike Psilocybin, which is a psychedelic and an agonist for the 5-HT2A receptor set.

Chemical and physical properties

Amanita muscaria contains two main active ingredients, ibotenic acid and its derivative, muscimol. Muscimol is the product of the decarboxylation or drying of ibotenic acid and it is thought that muscimol is as much as ten times as potent as ibotenic acid.
