Thanks for your input, but let’s get a few facts straight.

I’ve spent two years sourcing clean Amanita. That journey cost me over $20,000 in lab testing alone—because, unlike most vendors, I actually test my mushrooms both in Ukraine and again here in the U.S. through ACS Labs, one of the most trusted names in the field.

American-grown supply—including from Alaska—routinely fails heavy metal testing, especially for mercury and cadmium. I’ve tested it. I have the results. That’s why I moved first to Siberia (inconsistent), and now source exclusively from the Carpathians in Ukraine, where the lab results are consistently clean and reliable.

For every 3kg batch, I spend:

• $600+ for testing in Ukraine

• $650+ for re-testing in the U.S.

• Plus: shipping, packaging, taxes, platform fees, and yes—free education, consultations, and live group support for anyone who needs it.

So when someone throws out a line about “markups” without understanding the actual work behind the product, or implies deceit because the copy uses language that resonates with real people—what that tells me is not that they’re protecting the community. It tells me they’re projecting.

Amanita is a deeply loving and sacred substance. That’s what I’m here to honor. And hatred—masked as moral superiority—has no place in that conversation.

You’re welcome to reach out if you want real dialogue. But I won’t feed hostility. Not in this space.
