Which of them were/are consumed the most, which of them are dangerous and why. Where in the world do the most “magic mushrooms” grow and which ones are usually used for consumption?

    Also as a bonus for anyone who knows a lot about Ethnology and history: Who cunsumed shrooms, what purpose did it serve in their culture and is there a correlation between geographical location, believes, other drug consumption and magic mushroom consumption?

      I don’t know much about it, but supposedly Vikings used mushrooms to induce rage and hysteria before going into battle. It possibly triggered or heightened PTSD.

        That was a deliriant species of amanita not the funny haha magic mushroom kind. It was most likely amanita muscaria which can be consumed safely but is much more risky than psilocybe species
