Not only does it sound like you know your shrooms, I love your sense of humour! Did you collect them? Or leave them be?

Actually I did collect them but I think they ended up going to the the university herbarium rather than in my stomach.... although I did drink a bit of tea made from this particular species several years ago. Ended up wandering outside and laying down on a pick nick table for an hour or two. I didn't see god or anything, but after going back inside to prepare for bed, I did see myself in the mirror, puzzled for a bit, and finally reached the conclusion that I looked like "an ornamented primate". The next morning I felt compelled to shave off my side burns. Many indigenous cultures, primarily in Mesoamerica, employ hallucinogenic mushrooms as a shamanic tool to aid in the decision making process (among other reasons). After nixing the muttonchops, I can't help but think there is some validity to the tradition.

hmmm, time to go through my Carlos Castaneda books....

Behind the official president's residence at the university where I used to work, there was a well-known (and oft-harvested) crop of shrooms. Students had to be sneaky, though, since it was practically in the president's back yard.
