DrClocktopus's Office // Yeah I know. I haven’t read the book but I’m pretty sure the author knows this too. He probably picked amanita muscaria for the cover since it’s the most recognizable mushroom. Some mushrooms under the Amanitacaea family are actually edible and do provide a psychedelic experience. I’m done being a smartass bye.

Hey, a smartarse comment for a smartarse comment I am not entitled to complain. Amanita’s, when not horribly deadly, contain a psychoactive compound that is closer to a dissociative or even a delerient in high doses. They can make you trip but it isn’t exactly a psychedelic trip.
