Really beautiful shots! And you're right A. muscaria is know for its psychoactive properties. It contains muscimol, which is a psychoactive compound that is sometimes described as psychedelic but for what I've heard from trip reports makes people feel more like sedated (it's a GABAa agonist). However, this mushroom also contains ibotenic acid, which causes confusion, euphoria, visual and auditory distortions but also nausea and vomiting; and muscarine, which causes blurred vision and diarrhea, among other unpleasant symptoms. So, yeah, it doesn't seem like a fun mushroom to play with.
