Amanita Muscaria Dried Cap Powder A+

2 oz

Amanita Regalis also known as The Royal Fly Agaric, isn’t as well-known as the Amanita Muscaria: 🍄

Regalis is gaining more popularity for its stronger medicinal qualities than Muscaria however it is still quite rare to find available here in the USA so we are very pleased to offer them along side our other Amanita products.

These dried caps are of very high quality and were harvested in the 2023 most recent season in the mountains of Skandanavia.

The Royal Fly Agaric or Amanita Regalis is a Muscaroid, just like Amanita Muscaria. 

Although, Regalis is 2-3x more potent than Muscaria. You would be advised to use less in your products than what you may use with Muscaria.
They make a very powerful topical ointment for pain relief. 

*These mushrooms not for eating, please do all your own research, we only supply the best natural product we can.

Regalis contains the same alkaloids as A.Muscaria, just in higher concentration. 

This product contains 1 dried ounce of crushed (not powdered) Amanita Regalis caps harvested in their full expression, very viable mushrooms)))

Comes in the cool package you see in the photo which is original art by us (Born Free Natural Mystic) and is resealable and reusable, keeps all light out so your mushrooms retain their medicine, *we highly suggest keeping your mushrooms in packaging without windows or ways for light and air to get in.

*You will get a cool Amanita drink coaster and or amanita sticker with any amanita product purchase)))

Amanita Regalis  have many potential medicinal benefits. The active compounds have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective effects. 
Some people use them to treat various medical conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, and Parkinson's disease or to just aid in whole body relaxation)))

Bay Leaves (Fresh Harvested, Not Dried)

Organic Hungarian sow ready Poppy Seeds!
Annual
Full Sun to Part Shade
Zone 3 - 9
Days to Maturity: 60 - 90
Days to Germination: 7 - 28 days
Soil: Average, well-drained soil (Not picky about soil)
Water: Keep moist until germination
*Rule of thumb: Plant in Spring for Cold Climates and Plant in Fall for Warmer Climates

Organic Hungarian Poppy grow huge violet purple poppy flowers with darker aubergine brush stroke center markings. A true breadseed poppy with giant seed heads that are jam-packed with light blue poppy seeds for baking and salad dressing. Poppy seeds are rich in fiber, calcium and iron and have a light, nutty flavor. Tall sturdy stems make this a winner for both cut flowers and showstoppers in the landscape. Hardy once established. Easy to grow and maintain and are drought tolerant. Excellent pollinator flower, blooms in summer.

Organic, Open Pollinated, Non-GMO
Quantity: 500 Seeds

Botanical Name: Papaver somniferum
Planting Depth: 1/16" Surface *Seeds Need Light to Germinate
Plant Spacing: 6 - 8”
Height: 3 - 4'

Poppies do not like any root disturbances,. Also very tiny seeds! To make sowing easier, sprinkle seeds on a sheet of paper and dampen your finger to pick up a few at a time. Or mix one part seed with 5 parts sand and scatter over the prepared growing area.

COLD STRATIFICATION NEEDED - will happen naturally if seeds are sown in the fall. You can fake the winter by refrigerating for at least 2 ½ months:
- About 3 months before spring, place seeds in a plastic bag with a handful of slightly dampened, clean peat, paper towel, or a mix of clean peat and sand.
- Seal and label the bag with the name and date, then store in the refrigerator (not freezer)
- After 2 1/2 months your seeds will be ready for planting in the spring

Direct Broadcast: Sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil. Do not cover them. Oriental poppies need light to germinate. Water the area regularly, keeping it moist (but not water logged) until the seeds germinate, usually around 14 days. When the seedlings are about 1" tall, thin to 6" apart. You can sow in fall for spring flowers for a natural cold stratification.

Indoor Sow: Poppies won't live through root disturbances so start in biodegradable planting pots, water pots first then sprinkle just a few seeds in each pot (surface). Once seeded, cover the pots with plastic to help keep moisture locked and place in a sunny window. They should germinate in 7-14 days. When seedlings are approx 1" tall, pinch off to strongest plant careful not to disturb the root system down below.

Poppies should be watered regularly, but they can tolerate dry conditions. It is not necessary to fertilize poppies.

Harvest: If you decide to cut the poppies for a vase or a bouquet, it helps the life to burn the ends of the poppy stems before putting in water.

Very viable seeds from this past seasons harvest. produces amazing opium flowers! *NOT FOR CONSUMPTION

Deep heavenly red with varying deep purple hues generating from center, very stunning)))

The trick to a successful germination of the seeds is to sow seeds before last frost, so late winter. 
Or you can also sow in early spring just put the packet in the freezer for a few days first, then sow.

-Sowing seeds at any other times of the year will yield only a fraction of their possible expression, its ALL about the sow timing folks...

-Please keep in mind these seeds are for germination and growing of flowers, VERY different from seeds that are prepared for eating, those seeds are heat treated for mold etc and are NOT viable to try to plant and grow. when seeds shop comparing please not the difference between for eating or sowing, Most bulk seeds are all pre-treated for consumption making them useless for sowing ;-)

*Each packet contains over 1000 seeds!
