Amanita Muscaria contains muscimol and ibotenic acid. The former is the preferred psychoactive chemical and the later is psychoactive as well albeit not as potent and much more toxic. Drying the caps decarboxylates the ibotenic acid and converts it to muscimol making the mushoom much more potent and less toxic.
