Why We're Different
I believe Amanita is a sacred mushroom that should be treated with the utmost intentionality and respect. This attitude permeates every corner of Luminita. From hand foraging each mushroom, processing in small batches and reiking the final product, I hope to create a business that cares as much for the mushrooms as I do for my clients.
Why Luminita?
Wild harvested in Washington state
Each mushroom is hand picked in Washington, USA. By keeping it local, we can reduce our carbon emissions and ensure we only use high quality mushroom caps. In fact Washington is known for having mushrooms with the most amount of magic, so you can be sure your microdoses will actually work.
Fully decarboxylated
Every batch is fully coverted from ibotenic acid to muscimol using a traditional 3 step process that involves drying, adding acid and boiling for 3+ hours to ensure all ibotenic acid is converted into muscimol.
Consistent Potency
Mushrooms are notorious for having wildly different potencies between caps. We take the batch from the seasonal harvest and mix it together before processing to ensure each capsule has consistent amounts of muscimol.
Alcohol Free Blend
Amanita muscaria contains the active chemical, muscimol, which acts on the GABA receptor in our brains - the same receptor that alcohol acts on (that's why they both have a relaxing effect). Many people want to find an alternative to alcohol based tinctures to reduce any unwanted side effects with combing muscimol and alcohol.
Sustainable packaging
Our packaging was chosen to use the least amount of virigin resources, to be fully recyclable and plastic free. Specifically our capsules are enclosed in a lightweight and recyclable aluminum tin and then wrapped in a recycled paper mailer.
What is Amanita Muscaria?
Amanita muscaria is a magical mushroom that has been used by humans for tens of thousands of years. It's famous for being the inspiration behind Alice in Wonderland, Mario and even Christmas.
Amanita was traditionally used in Siberia where it was consumed during winter to reduce seasonal depression and increase motivation.
Now research is coming out showing that when Amanita is taken regularly as a microdose it can help heal trauma and bring happiness & peace back into people’s lives.
Why Amanita muscaria?
Amanita is known to create relationships and harmony within the forest by connecting the roots of trees together into a web. This web helps the trees communicate and share nutrients so they can grow strong. In return, Amanita gets their excess sugars so it too can flourish - even when nutrients are scarce.
By consuming microdosed amounts of the mushroom, we can gain the support to live more like them:
- to socialize easily with others
- to feel balanced and strong
- to flourish even when things get tough
Let customers speak for us
from 98 reviewsOnly pros! After first few days, I have become noticeably more calm and cheerful. During the first week, I have noticed marked difference responding to external irritable events. The amount of coffee I drink has decreased. I am sure my cortisol level has decreased tremendously too. After about 3-4 weeks of taking it I can definitely say the same about consuming alcohol and smoking cigarets. I knew these effects of micro–dosing from previous 3-4 months courses.
Bought a trial amount of 50 capsules 500mg each from Luminita. Product quality is worthy of all praise! Everything in the ordering process is saturated with positive energy! Care and love in each step of the way. It is important to get informed about the shipment statuses and receive a package with thorough instructions. Excellent service! Thank you so much!
Tried 2 capsules a day intermittently but it was too much for me. Evening doses promoted a good sleep and vivid colorful dreams. After about 3 weeks of one 500mg capsule daily, my memory improved at least twofold. Since the Amanita muscaria has a cumulative effect, these changes don’t happen immediately. But I can definitely say the quality of this product is undeniable and speaks for itself.
Thank you Tara for your work, which brings health and happiness!!!
You know how you're supposed to visualize being behind the waterfa of your thoughts when meditating, like you're just watching thoughts go by? Luminita gives me the capacity and space from my own chattering brain to do so.
I could go on for hours but I don’t want everyone to know what you have here! I use both products. Perfect. Both products. Both mushrooms are divine. You are definitely listening to the universe! It’s an honor to find a kindred spirit!
I love all the other reviews! You are making a difference! 🍄
Luminita has been a game-changer in my health regime. I was struggling with stress and restless sleep, but almost immediately upon using Luminita I noticed a positive shift in my sleep. I know fall asleep easily, experience lucid dreaming, and wake feeling rested and peaceful. Luminita is my new go-to for wellness and I am so grateful I found it!
Although I know that Luna was formulated specifically as a sleep aid, that's not why I purchased it. I'm already developing a positive relationship with Aminita Muscaria and I love Reishi mushrooms for their adaptogenic properties so, I thought, what could be better than a formula that contains both!
Also, it's a big plus knowing that Tara is personally sourcing the Reishi with the same high ethical, sustainability, quality and preparation standards that she applies to the Aminita.
While I didn't get the Lunar as a sleep aid for myself, as that is not generally a concern for me, I have started giving it every night to my 84-year-old life partner who unfortunately is suffering from advanced dementia and has very troubled sleep. So far, her sleeping seems to be quieter and she reports less turmoil overnight, so perhaps it's helping. Will get a better idea as time goes by.
Thanks Tara; may you live long and prosper!
I’ve had issues getting meaningful sleep for a while now. Before starting Amanita I would wake feeling like I got little to no sleep what so ever. Now, I wake with energy and focus that continues throughout the day. I very much recommend trying Amanita.
I felt the effects of luminita almost immediately. My concentration was better and i felt a calmness I haven't felt in a while. Procrastination was significantly reduced.
So far so far. No complaints at all!
I have taken the regular Amanita from Tara which is truly amazing. It helped to balance and center my energy gradually through the weeks. I felt I was attracting more positive experiences in my life. I felt more calm and able to gain a better perspective from life's challenges.
When I recently tried the Lunar, I got a very prophetic dream the first night. I could see every detail, things were really clear in my dream. Then a woman came up and asked my name. Never has anyone asked my name in a dream before. I told her and she told me her name, Esmeralda. She put her hand to my back and asked me why I was such in a rush. She said that I don't need to be anywhere, right here, right now is perfectly where I should be. Then my phone rang and woke me up. I got a very big message from that dream. Be present. Be grateful for where you are now. I had another dream the next few nights and it was her again. Luna is truly magical. I recommend it to anyone who is open to experiencing the essence of life through the healing of mushrooms. Thank you Tara, especially for the hard work you put into these capsules. I will be ordering more.
I’m friends with the owner and had the opportunity to test out the Lunar from the start. It doesn’t knock me out like Benadryl but it calms my mind and I always fall asleep rather quickly. Also I don’t wake up feeling groggy. Love the purple, she finally nailed the color.
This is my first experience with any Amanita products and I'm impressed. I struggle with serious insomnia which has a very negative impact on my energy and mood the following day if I don't sleep well. This has helped me get restful sleep, relax me, and give me some pretty wild and profound dreams too. Thanks Luminita!
I originally ordered a sample of the 500 mg and had an adverse reaction. After reaching out to Tara, I was responded to quickly and she sent me a lower dose to try. I will be ordering more of the 250 mg. Thanks Tara! So helpful in my life right now
When my local apothecarist stopped making her amanita muscaria tincture, I was at a loss for where to find a new source. I found Lumanita on Foraged, and came to order from her website directly. I'm glad I gave her extract a chance! It is effective at 750mg for me, and I really like the packaging. I use it for deep, restful sleep.
It’s still early in my Luminita microdosing experiment, so I don’t yet have any dramatic conclusions to offer. But I can say this much:
From the start, I’ve been really impressed with the strong but calm and grounded energy this Amanita formulation has given me. I sense in it a great potential, one likely to work gently over time, for healing and cultivation of body, mind and spirit.
I look forward to continuing “playing” with this subtle but powerful medicine and will be reordering very soon.
Thanks Tara!
I have been called to Amanita for a few years and recently on a hike in ADK I saw it everywhere... after the backpacking trip I discovered Luminita and I knew it was time.
I have had such a lovely experience as the mushroom has helped me shift my perspective enough to react differently to my life circumstances breaking cycles of trauma.
I could not recommend Luminita and
