I do not know its name in english, but AFAIK in latin it's Amantia
muscaria - you know, it's a very widespread poisonous mushroom with a
red dotted white cap. Shamans in Sibiria also used it to reach trance
state. The only problem with it is that its quality strongly depends on
the place, at least in my region it doesn't have any interesting
effects.
