Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid are the main psychoactive compounds present in many mushrooms of the Amanita genus(Most notably Amanita muscaria, Amanita pantherina, and Amanita gemmata). Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid are dissociatives and selective agonists for the GABAA receptor set, unlike Psilocybin, which is a psychedelic and an agonist for the 5-HT2A receptor set.
