Lunar: Amanita Muscaria + Reishi Sleep Capsules
Lunar: Amanita Muscaria + Reishi Sleep Capsules
Lunar is the ultimate sleep aid. It has a 50-50 blend of wild foraged Amanita Muscaria and reishi mushrooms, both hand picked from the Pacific Northwest. Together they synergize to help you easily fall into a deep, restorative and dream filled sleep & wake with a clear and present mind.
By itself, Amanita Muscaria is known to be a powerful sleep and dream aid, specifically when taken before bed.
- Calm Mind: Amanita's claim to fame is its ability to calm the nerves and quiet your ego mind, the mental chatter box that often keeps you up at night.
- Sleep Time: Muscimol, the active molecule in Amanita, has been shown to help reduce the amount of time needed to fall asleep.
- REM Sleep: Studies on muscimol show it may help increase the amount of time spent in REM sleep, a period of sleep necessary for memory consolidation and emotional regulation.
- Dream Aid: Amanita may help increase time spent in theta, the dream wavelength, allowing you to have more vivid and prophetic dreams.
Reishi is revered for its health promoting and relaxing properties.
- Adaptogen: Reishi is a powerful adaptogen, enhancing your body's own ability to heal and adapt to stress.
- Hormone Balance: There's evidence that Reishi may help balance melatonin levels, a natural hormone responsible for our sleep-wake cycles
- Stress Reduction: Several studies suggest Reishi has anxiolytic properties. Anxiety is often a significant barrier to restful sleep.
- Deep Sleep: Reishi is thought to support the body in reaching delta wave sleep, the deepest phase of sleep crucial for healing & rejuvenation.
Unlike most sleep aids, Lunar does not have a risk of a tolerance or dependence, meaning you can take it each night and not have to worry about losing effectiveness. In fact, Amanita seems to have reverse tolerance, meaning you need less of it over time, gradually getting to the point where you may no longer need its support.
*Each tin of Lunar comes with 50 capsules, each containing 500mg of decarboxylated Amanita Muscaria mushroom and 500mg of Wild Foraged Reishi.

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.
FAQ
What is Luminita?
Luminita is a microdosed form of Amanita muscaria, the most widely recognized mushroom in the world.
We believe Amanita muscaria is one of the most powerfully healing mushrooms on Earth and so you only need to take small amounts to see incredible benefits. That's why we are a big proponent of taking Amanita in microdoses instead of in large, recreational doses.
What does it feel like?
When taking the recommended serving size, the effects you feel will be sub-perception, so you won't feel high.
That said, if you take luminita in the morning, you may feel more energized, focused, happy and overall more confident in yourself.
If taken before bed, you may feel calm and relaxed, with a good change of vivid dreams as you slumber.
Over time, Amanita muscaria helps you feel centered and at peace with yourself and the world around you.
Is it safe?
Misinformation claims that muscaria is a toxic mushroom, bound to cause intestinal discomfort and (hallu)cinations.
Ibotenic acid and overconsumption cause most, if not all, of these effects.
When ibotenic acid is fully decarboxylated into muscimol and taken as a microdose, Amanita muscaria has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, memory enhancing and stress reducing properties.
Read more about the healing benefits of Amanita on our studies page.
What is decarboxylation?
Decarboxylation occurs when the predominant molecule in raw Amanita muscaria mushrooms, ibotenic acid, is broken down into the molecule that has been shown to have healing properties, muscimol. With Amanita muscaria, this can occur with a combination of drying, acidifying or fermenting over several days.
We believe in the collective knowledge of our ancestors. They discovered the mushroom needed to be dried and made into a tea or wine before consumption.
We follow this wisdom by decarboxylating all our mushrooms before encapsulation.
Learn more about what decarboxylation is and why it's important on our blog post.
How much should I take?
We believe amanita muscaria is more healing at microdose levels. Every person is different, so you will need to find your own perfect dose.
Start with 1 capsule for a few days and then check in with yourself. If you don't feel any different, increase, if you start to feel irritable or notice any changes in perception, reduce.
What time of day should I take it?
You can either take your microdose in the morning or evening.
If you take it in the morning, you might feel confident, in control and calm - perfect for taking on a stressful day.
If you take it in the evening, you might feel calm, relaxed and sleepy - perfect for having a restful sleep.
Is it a (psyche)delic?
No. Luminita does not contain any (psilo)cybin or any other (psyche)delic ingredients. Instead it contains muscimol, a unique molecule with an entirely different profile of effects.
Muscimol also acts on the GABA receptors in the brain (not serotonin receptors like psilo) and provides a calming and grounding effect.
Is it legal?
In the USA, Yes, but not everywhere.
Amanita muscaria is legal in most countries and states around the world, including in the USA. However, it is illegal in the Netherlands, Thailand, Australia, Romania and in one US state - Louisiana.
Can this interact with medications?
At this time we do not know how it reacts with all other psychoactive substances, so please talk with your physician.
We do know that muscimol acts on the GABAa and somewhat at the GABAc receptor location in the brain. Thus, it's not recommended to combine Amanita with medications or substances that act on GABA receptors (i.e., don't mix with alcohol or benzodiazepines).
Anecdotally, we also know you must not take amanita with red wine.
Who shouldn't take Luminita?
Amanita muscaria should only be consumed by people who are adults and can handle the changes that may come with taking a mind altering substance. Thus, anyone under 18 years old should not take Amanita.
Additionally, we don't know enough about how it interacts with pregnancy, so anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid working with Amanita until we know more.
Is refrigeration required?
The tins last about 3 months at room temperature.
If you think you will take a while to get through the full tin, I recommend you refrigerate (or even better freeze) the capsules to preserve potency.
I keep all capsules frozen before shipment to ensure yours will last as long as possible upon arrival.
Do you ship internationally?
To a few places!
Currently, I ship to: USA (except Louisiana), Canada and Norway.
Message me at hey@luminita.co if you’d like me to ship to your country :)
1% Donated to Help Protect Old Growth Forests
We believe companies have a duty to give back to the products that they commoditize. That's why we give a portion of our profits to protect the forests that Amanita muscaria dwell in. In doing so, we hope to form a mutually beneficial relationship with them in honor of the symbiotic relationship they form with trees.
