'''Ibotenic acid''' or '''(''S'')-2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)acetic acid''' (also referred to as '''ibotenate''') is a psychoactive substance which occurs naturally in ''[[Amanita muscaria]]'' and related species of mushrooms. It is an analogue of the neurotransmitter [[glutamate]], and due to its structural similarity to this neurotransmitter, acts as a non-selective glutamate receptor agonist.{{citation needed}} | '''Ibotenic acid''' or '''(''S'')-2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)acetic acid''' (also referred to as '''ibotenate''') is a psychoactive substance which occurs naturally in ''[[Amanita muscaria]]'' and related species of mushrooms.
