I don't know but their houses are definitely amanita muscaria.

  Which makes sense as you want your house to be as inedible as possible. I assume they have some method of keeping snails, woodpeckers and other animals resistant to the poison at bay.

    Amanita muscaria is not inedible, it just needs to be processed correctly.

      Which is why I carry around a pocketful of snails.

      I happen to know a person who experimented with eating dried caps and I don't think there exists a process that actually makes them harmless. Unless of course you're isolating muscimol, but I don't think that should count as eating the fungus. While liver damage is mitigated by the fact that the organ in question regenerates, nerves don't.

        I happen to be a person who ate the dried caps directly and experienced not only no ill effects but no effects whatsoever several times.
