Not only that mushroom, the death cap as the name suggests has similar effects (same toxin), but is actually the most deadly mushroom. But yeah Amanita are the most deadly/toxic species of mushrooms.

Not all of them, Amanita muscaria Has Perhaps the longest recorded usage of any drug plants or fungi in the history of the northern world. Ask the reindeer they’ll tell you about it.
It is an anticholinergenic. But it has two actions, When Wet Ibotenic acid has an inebriating effect, when dry and cooked it converts to muscimol, which produces hallucinations and an altered state, but is not a hallucinogen but said anticholinergenic, a different class of drug.
A single discredited study accused ibotenic acid of causing brain lesions and the media has repeated it ad nauseam but it’s not accurate, I have done it both wet and dry.
