My neighbor and I went for a hike. He pointed out the mushroom in this photo and said it was the most psychedelic mushroom in Washington state. Interesting history on this mushroom...Per Wikipedia..."No mushroom presents more of an enigma than the fly agaric, Amanita muscaria. It is the most recognizable mushroom on the planet, and is widely known as the hallucinatory ‘shroom responsible for Alice’s trip into Wonderland and quite possibly our beloved images of a red-suited Santa Claus and his flying reindeer."
In the mid-seventies, at a college party, I stupidly accepted a tablespoon of sautéed mushrooms and then another tablespoon an hour later when nothing happened. Five hours later these sautéed mushrooms kicked in and I couldn't turn my mind off for twenty-four hours straight.
When they say powerful psychedelic mushrooms they aren't kidding. How anyone thinks being totally out-of-control of your mind's racing thoughts for 24 hours is fun is beyond me. It was horrible! Too strong. Never again...
After about twelve hours I thought it was so stupid to not be able to stop thinking I decided to at least think of something thought provoking. I tried to figure out why people believe in God. My conclusion after 12 hours of mind racing thoughts was, "Because they need to- just like they need to eat and sleep."
