The same wild Amanita can be offered in very different formats. Here is how they compare — so you can choose the one that suits your collection or display.
Whole dried caps
The most natural format: you see exactly what you get — colour, size, warts and grade. Best for display and for anyone who wants to judge quality by eye. Available as Premium+, Grade A and Grade B for Amanita muscaria, and as closed or regular caps for Amanita pantherina.
Powder
Dried caps ground to a fine powder. Compact to store, uniform in texture, but you can no longer see the original caps — so buy powder from a seller who labels the species clearly. Amanita muscaria powder · Amanita pantherina powder.
Capsules
Ground material in 0.4 g capsules — a tidy, pre-portioned presentation for storage and display. The capsule shape does not make a product intended for swallowing. All capsules.
Tinctures, glycerines and ferments
Liquid preparations in 50 ml bottles: tinctures (alcohol), glycerines (alcohol-free) and ferments. All liquid formats.
