The poisonous fly agaric mushroom is considered unsuitable for consumption - only some of its varieties can be used in cooking after careful processing. However, at the same time, the toxic mushroom has high medicinal value; an alcohol tincture is prepared based on the red or gray-pink fly agaric, which has a lot of useful properties.
The healing qualities of the alcohol infusion are due to its composition.The fly agaric tincture contains:

- xanthine and betanin;
- puterescin;
- muscaruphine pigment;
- alkaloids muscarine, muscaridine and muscimol;
- choline;
- toxic ibotenic acid.
When consumed as food, the listed substances, especially alkaloids and ibotenic acid, can cause severe poisoning and hallucinations. But in combination with alcohol and in minimal dosages, fly agaric acquires medicinal properties - toxins in minute concentrations heal the body and help fight inflammatory processes and severe chronic disorders.

How to prepare fly agaric tincture using alcohol
The main thing to remember before preparing a healing remedy is that it is strictly forbidden to use deadly poisonous fly agarics to create an alcohol tincture. You can prepare an alcoholic infusion from red fly agaric, as well as relatively harmless gray-pink, Caesar, ovoid and solitary species. But the use of royal, pearl, panther and white fly agarics should be abandoned - an infusion based on them will not bring any benefit, but will be very dangerous.
There are several general rules and recommendations regarding the preparation of medicinal tinctures:
- To create the medicine, young or adult fruiting bodies that are not damaged by insects are selected; old and rotten fly agaric mushrooms are left in the forest.
- To prepare a tincture with alcohol, they mainly use mushroom caps; they contain more potentially useful substances than the stems.
- The tincture can be made from dried fly agarics, but fresh fruiting bodies are more often used.
- When cutting mushrooms, use a disposable cutting board and a plastic knife; after preparing the medicinal product, they are disposed of.
You need to collect fly agaric mushrooms to prepare medicine only in environmentally friendly areas. It is necessary to carry out the collection only in thick rubber gloves; when processing and slicing mushrooms, you must also use gloves and try not to inhale the smell of fly agaric.
Recipe 1: with mushroom fermentation
For internal use, an infusion of fly agaric in alcohol is usually prepared according to a complex recipe that involves fermenting the mushroom pulp. The recipe looks like this:
- Fresh fly agaric mushrooms are crushed immediately after collection and compacted tightly into small glass jars, no more than 500 ml;
- the jars are wrapped in plastic bags and buried in the ground for 30-40 days;
- After this time, the containers are removed from the ground - the fly agarics must ferment, liquid accumulates at the bottom of the jar, and the chopped pulp itself rises to the top.
Fermented fly agarics are filtered through thick cheesecloth, leaving only pure juice, and diluted in equal proportions with alcohol or vodka.
Recipe 2: Mushroom Infusion
Another recipe allows you to do without fermentation - making a tincture using it is faster and easier. However, it can also be used for external compresses and rubbing; this medicine is almost never used for oral use.
Preparation:
- As in the previous recipe, fresh fly agarics are thoroughly chopped.
- The resulting pulp is placed in a small glass jar and filled with vodka; it should cover the mushroom pulp by 1 cm from above.
- The jar is tightly closed with a lid and stored in a dark and dry place for 2 weeks.
After the expiration date, the tincture is ready for use; it can be used to treat skin and joint ailments.
When infusing fly agarics, it is permissible to use dried fruiting bodies. But for tincture with fermentation, only fresh mushrooms are used.

Rules for using fly agaric infusion with alcohol
Since toxic mushroom tincture remains a potentially dangerous product, it is important to follow some rules when using it. This applies not only to internal, but also to external use of the infusion.
Externally
When applied externally, the drug penetrates the tissues through the skin. The effect is less strong than with internal use, but an overdose should still not be allowed.
You can make lotions and compresses with fly agaric tincture only if there are no open wounds or other damage to the skin. The medicinal infusion is used for treatment for no more than 5 days in a row, then you need to take a break so that excess toxic substances do not accumulate in the body. You should keep the compress with mushroom tincture on your body for no longer than an hour, otherwise the toxic substances in the medicine will cause harm.
After removing the compress, the skin must be thoroughly washed and the gauze or cloth discarded.
Inside
When using the medicine internally, it is important to maintain minimum dosages and not use the tincture for too long a time in a row.
Treatment with fly agaric begins gradually - at first you need to use literally a couple of drops of tincture per day. The dosage is gradually increased, but the maximum amount of infusion should be no more than 20 drops per day.
You need to take the medicine shortly before eating, about 15 minutes.It is not recommended to drink the tincture after meals, nor should it be consumed in a state of severe hunger.
When using the tincture, the dosage is also reduced gradually, when the daily dose is 20 drops, the daily amount of medication begins to be reduced by 2 drops per day.
The alcohol tincture must be diluted with water before use; it cannot be used in its pure form.
Overdose
Even with very careful use of the medicine, an accidental overdose of the medicinal tincture cannot be ruled out. To prevent its consequences from becoming fatal, urgent measures must be taken at the first symptoms of poisoning.
Symptoms of poisoning
Signs of an overdose are quite obvious. These include:
- nausea and vomiting;
- abdominal pain and diarrhea;
- increased salivation and sweating;
- speech impairment and nervous agitation;
- constriction of the pupils.
In case of severe poisoning, hallucinations may occur, and fainting is possible.
First aid
Negative symptoms appear 1-2 hours after consuming the tincture. When the first alarming signs appear, you must call a doctor, and before he arrives, take the following measures:
- drink at least 2 liters of water and induce a gag reflex to remove some of the toxic substances from the body;
- take a strong and quick laxative to cleanse the intestines;
- if the condition worsens, take a horizontal position and do not make sudden movements.
