    I thought those looked like boletes. Which I’ve heard can be hallucinogenic, but those also had analysis showing it’s just a small amount of regular psilocybin. This is neither psilocybin nor muscimol, pretty interesting. I’d eat them raw.

    Wikipedia:

    Chemical and genomic analyses have shown that the Lanmaoa asiatica does not contain any known psychoactive compounds such as psilocybin or muscimol. It is likely that there remains an unknown hallucinogenic compound yet to be discovered in this species.[3][6] Chemical analysis of Lanmaoa asiatica has identified numerous compounds and their pharmacological activity has been studied, but as yet none of them have been linked to the reported psychoactive effects.[7][8][9][10]

      Interesting. I thought it was a bolete too. There is one other hallucinogenic bolete, the blue meanie, in central europe and I don’t know where else. It is a giant one too I believe. Psilocybin I believe.

      I had the exact same thought when I read this haha! But when I went looking for which bolete variety had psilocybin I couldn’t find it
