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?

    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
