It is important to convert ibotenic acid to muscimol before consumption.
Please read Fly agaric: Ibotenic acid decarboxylation to muscimol to learn how to convert the relatively neurotoxic compound (speculated to be a stimulant[1][2]) ibotenic acid to muscimol.
Also, novel edibles "Amanita Mushroom Gummies" contain a substantial amount of ibotenic acid along with muscimol and muscarine. Given the toxicity of ibotenic acid, the consumption of those preparations even in small doses should be avoided![3]
A 1998 publication listed Muscimol as an Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS) on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list. However, a later document from 2006 shows it was removed from the list.
