Oregon Newspaper Accidentally Tells People to Eat Hallucinogenic Mushroom

Mushroom-Oregon

Mushrooms are a dangerous game to the unfamiliar. The Orgeonian publication should know this now more than ever after mistakenly running a photo of a hallucinogenic mushroom in place of a safe-to-eat one. The Oregan-based newspaper mistakenly ran a photo of the amanita muscaria, a mushroom that features a red cap and white spots.

What they MEANT to run was a photo of a mastsutake mushroom, which began its commercial harvest season earlier this week at four of Oregon’s national forests. Matsutake mushrooms are whitish in color and browner when fully matured, reports Oregon Live.

While the amanita muscaria is not considered deadly, it is capable of putting people into a deep sleep for several hours. It should also be noted that it looks exactly like the Super Mario mushroom, so curious gamers should proceed with caution.
