500 grams of wild Amanita muscaria (fly agaric), roughly 155 whole dried caps of mixed natural size, gathered in the forests of British Columbia.
Prefer a different amount? Any weight from 20 to 500 g can be ordered on the main dried caps page - drag the scale or type the exact grams.
Is 500 g the right amount?
500 grams of dried fly agaric is about 155 caps - real ones vary from thumbnail 1–3 g specimens to broad 20–30 g crowns, so every pouch is a mixed, natural set rather than a uniform count. This is the archive size - a full season in one sealed pouch, at the lowest price per gram we offer.
At C$449 this works out to C$ 0.90 / g. Want less? 200 g is C$209.
How this 500 g was made
Hand-picked at dawn during the short autumn flush, brushed clean and never washed, dried 36 hours in 40 °C moving air with a brief rise to 90 °C so residual ibotenic acid converts to muscimol, then vacuum-sealed and rested three months in the dark. The current batch was gathered in October-November 2025 and is ready now.
