sacred mushrooms
Ritual hallucinogenic toadstools
Sacred mushrooms are fungi containing psychoactive compounds, especially psilocybin, used in religious or spiritual rituals.
Indigenous peoples of Mexico and Central America have consumed them for centuries in ceremonial contexts.
The term emphasizes their role in mystical experiences rather than recreational use: The shaman prepared the sacred mushrooms for the healing ceremony.
