About the Meadow Muffin Mushroom
The Meadow Muffin
Mushroom is considered to be a “dung addict”. This fungus is heavily reliant on
dung or poop and is frequently seen to be growing on the latter (eeeeewwww!!!).
It contains certain compounds that are used on psychoactive drugs (drugs used
to alter brain activity and change the mood and perception of a person). Eating
the meadow muffin is said to trigger hallucinations (triggered!!!) although
this practice is not widely implemented.
