I have a question. I have had great success with magic mushrooms but was wondering if other kinds would have the same effect in eliminating my headaches. I am specifically interested in knowing if the Red Fly Agaric Mushroom would help. I appreciate any information concerning this question.

There's a well-researched and footnoted article on Amanita muscaria (the red fly agaric) at Wikipedia, containing quite a bit of good information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria
Wikipedia isn't always a good source, but this entry isn't bad at all.
Fly Agaric is unscheduled in the US. I'd be very cautious with Amanita muscaria, however--you're in unknown territory with it as far as I'm aware, and insofar as CH is concerned.
Edited to add:
You may wish to look at Robert Gordon Wasson's paean to the fly agaric mushroom as well--the citation is:
R. G. Wasson, 1968, Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality ISBN 0-15-683800-1
Don't know if it's still in print--I saw a first edition copy of it about five or six years ago, and it was fairly spendy.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Hello Don, Flyagaric contain NO Psilocybin/Psilocin, so would not help with your headaches.

from a recreational input........the flygarick(as we called it twenty yrs ago)..too intense? would not advize anyone to try (but if you are having success/with normal shroom....be content, if it works, it dont need fixing

No, really...avoid this stuff.
As Carl said, fly agaric has no psilocybin or psilocin, nor any other chemical thought to be helpful for clusters. And from what I hear, it’s not even a very good high.
In Amanita muscaria, the active ingredients are ibotenic acid and muscimol, Erowid (http://www.erowid.org/plants/amanitas/) says muscaria can be “psychedelic” for some folks, but at higher doses and to sensitive folks it can be a little toxic, as in a nasty, delerious state, with vomiting. On top of that, some other Amanita species contain some REAL nasty hepatotoxins that will kill your liver (and therefore, you).

Tommy's right. Notably Amanita phalloides, the "death cap", and Amanita virosa, the "destroying angel". Thirty grams, or half a cap of either of these is lethal to an adult human being.
Dining on wild mushrooms for any purpose, be it culinary, recreational, or medicinal is not a good practice for anyone who is not absolutely positive of what they have picked.
Best,
George
