Does any one know how this fungus got its common name "fly agaric"? If so, it could go in the article. Vorbee (talk) 07:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
Well, it looks like the IP hopper is nothing but a troll (assuming they have a triple digit IQ).
Still, even though I generally dislike pop culture sections (as they tend to devolve into unsource lists with the occasional paragraph of fancruft), I could see reason to include sourced discussion of Amanita muscaria being the inspiration for the mushroom in Mario if reliable sources documented it. I doubt we're going to get Nintendo (the Disney of Japan) releasing an official statement saying "yep, Mario's a head, dudes," but I could imagine there being an academic or journalistic source saying "yeah, that's totally it."
Doing a quick glance, I see this history of video games from Feiwel & Friends (a division of Macmillan Publishers) saying "The Super Mushrooms in Mario are based on a fungi called Amanita muscaria." This piece from The Burlington Free Press says that Amanita muscaria is the mushroom from not only Mario, but the Smurfs and Alice and Wonderland.
I'm heading out and working on other stuff when I get back, otherwise I'd look further into it. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:11, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
Should we also add that the mushroom emoji (https://emojipedia.org/mushroom/ 🍄) is modeled after this kind of mushroom? Yegle (talk) 19:54, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
I would like to add Amanita muscaria var. aureola into text. Its is still missing, and i made good photo of mushroom. Its very similar to Amanita muscaria var. muscaria but has white circular wrapper, which is clearly visible.[1]. After what i could make FP nomination, must be used before. --PetarM (talk) 17:33, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. What happened to Amanita muscaria var. aureola ? RhinoMind (talk) 05:42, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
The article states "Dr Patrick Harding describes the laplander custom of processing the fly agaric through reindeer.[63]"
This intrigued me, so I went to the cited source to see what it meant. The professor says nothing about reindeer processing the fungus. He talks about people drinking the urine of shamen to get the hallucinogen because they weren't important enough to get the actual mushroom. He also said that reindeer would consume human urine for the same purpose. He does not say that people consumed reindeer urine.
My suggestion would be to rewrite the sentence to reflect what the cited source actually said. Dkelber (talk) 19:41, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
"Dr Patrick Harding describes the Sami custom of processing the fly agaric through reindeer."
I watched the video used as a source for this claim and while he does talk about using the mushroom for attracting reindeer I didn't hear anything about reindeer "processing" it beyond consumption. Unless I've missed something the phrasing is misleading. 2604:CA00:1EB:91FD:0:0:460:819B (talk) 19:08, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Can anyone point me where exactly Amanita Muscaria mushroom is visible on the "left-hand panel of the work" of the "The Garden of Earthly Delights"? Am I blind? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.22.161.168 (talk) 10:50, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
It seems to me that a lot of sketchy information and outright pseudoscience has been added since this article was elevated to WP:FA 16 years ago. It's worth reviewing to remove possible bad content, or barring that, lower this article's grading. Peter G Werner (talk) 04:42, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
Casliber have you seen this? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:10, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
